The thing is:

I don’t want a guy who knows the band and/or is a great artist and/or can get me into the cool parties and/or has cool hair and/or knew about things before they were cool.

He can be all those things, but I also want him to respect me as someone who knows bands and is an artist and can get herself into cool parties and has cool hair and knows about things before they are cool.

What I’m saying is, the more you try to impress me, the less I am impressed. Just talk to me. 

I’m sorry if I should have told you this sooner.
