Why couldn't I just get handed an alien girlfriend? Life is so fucking cruel.
Waiting around for an alien girlfriend to fall into your lap is exactly why the universe saw fit to keep you maidenless. Lock in, Rose. Nose to the whetstone. Those babes aren't going to pick up themselves.

How the fuck do you romance
Depends on the maiden. But the most common tactic is mutually expressed interests. Figure out your type, then start stalking social medias associated with said type until you have accrued enough information to perfectly project her ideal partner. Important note: do not reveal this process to her at any point.

oh what did you not get one just by being intellectually curious and sorta charming in the dumbfuck way you ditz around and cluelessly magoo about all unfamiliarly with her culture that was the basis for terezi and i hitting it off for a time and that went pretty ok have you tried being dumber maybe the whole being educated thing is really working against you

Noting this down now.

I'm afraid I didn't, as insane as that sounds unfortunately the universe seems to be constantly working against my happiness. And of course, I'm too smart that was the issue all along obviously.
Fair. Being a brainless dimwit works for the sci-fi romance genre heroine. Give this one a shot if my method has unwanted results. Preferably do not execute on the same chick unless you're completely sure it'll hit.
