About

Geek Speed Dating is a multi-panel webcomic featuring a young man with glasses sitting at a speed-dating table and asking a woman about various pop/internet culture references, ending with the man shouting "And we're done here!", "next!" or "she's the one!" depending on her answer. The comic became a staple as an exploitable image, typically throwing back to stereotypical elitist behaviors associated with geeks and fandom culture.

Origin

The original three-pane webcomic was created by Dutch freelance game designer Paul Van Der Meer and issued in the beginning of 2011 as part of a comic blog (prettylogic.nl, now defunct) that he ran from 2010 to 2012.
It depicts a man sitting at a table during a speed-date and asking a woman if she likes Star Wars. Upon hearing her negative answer, he turns around to shout "And we're done here!" (shown below).
The earliest repost of it came from tech, science and social news site Geeks Are Sexy^[1] on April 17th, 2011.

Speed dating Hello, do you like Star Wars? No. And we're done here!
