I have been seeing a girl whom I told about my love for literature, and told her there existed memes of it (like of any niche subject), but only have a couple saved. Help a fellow /lit/bro flirt.

Let us start with a classic.

>Meng Hao walked into the McDonald's. The cultivator taking his order gave a derisive snort, but Meng Hao did not really care, because he had repressed his aura down to the Single Patty Realm, and a fool would not be able to tell his true level of burger eating.
>"Give me... a Happy Meal!"
>The cultivator's face flickered before he finally regained his composure and laughed. "You couldn't afford a Happy Meal. Get lost! Don't you see that there are Double Quarter Pounder Realm eaters waiting behind you?"
>Meng Hao slapped his bag of holding and threw 80 billion spirit McDonald's coupons onto the counter, causing an earthquake which demolished half of the restaurant. Everyone dropped their jaws. None could see how this was possible!
>"I'll take that Happy Meal with a side order of fries, " Meng Hao said. He was as calm as the ocean in a painting of an insanely calm ocean. "And let me see your manager!"
>The cashier cultivator coughed up a mouthful of ketchup. He simply could not handle Meng Hao's killing intent, because he was only at the Quarter Pounder with Cheese realm himself. Even though Meng Hao had suppressed his aura, because he had cultivated the Heavenly Burgin' Qi, this was enough to kill people a few levels higher if he truly wanted.
>It was then that another man which a much more fierce aura stepped forward. "You dare make trouble here?"
>"P... Patriarch Hamburglar!"
>Patriarch Hamburglar was 99 cents of the way into the Big Mac Realm, plus tax! Meng Hao was pushed back two feet, knocking over a soda machine. Powerade Mountain Berry Blast geysered outward, killing several onlookers.
>Of course, Mayor McCheese saw all this happen through the window.
>Meng Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood, snorted, constricted his pupils, and then his expression went calm. He unleashed the aura of 64 patties, condensed down to a 2 patty stack that could fit into his mouth!
>Mayor McCheese coughed up a mouthful of cheese. His pupils constricted.
>"Is this... Seeking the McRib stage??"
>Meng Hao had the gentle air of a scholar, but it wouldn't stop him from killing several people in a McDonald's.
>"Burger Devouring Scripture! I'm Lovin' It!"
>With the first keyword of the Burger Devouring Scripture, everyone below the early Quarter Pounder With Cheese stage exploded into purple mist. The light of the immense heavenly burger shone down with the contours of a golden arch as 9 illusory burgers floated around Meng Hao's body, which is probably an important xianxia number that matches the number of lakes in some sacred Chinese province I've never heard of. But that was only a fraction of Meng Hao's power. He waved his arm, bringing forth thirty more cultivation techniques that hadn't appeared in over 400 chapters!

I read this is something people do when climbing a mountain. The book gets lighter as they progress and they tossed the read pages in the fire to reuse as fuel (you know, because mountaintops are cold).

>"Heavenly Tribulation Fries! Eastern Everburning Egg McMuffin! Fruit Smoothie Guillotine! Soul McCafe Mocha Incarnation!"
>Meng Hao's expression was the same as ever as he slapped his bag of holding, and brought out his karmic ketchup packet, Fry Cook Lord medallion, seventeen different wooden time spatulas, a five-coloured resurrection coupon, the silk burger wrapper, various souls of lightning McNuggets that he may or may not still have, and his mask of the legacy of Ronald McDonald. Oh, and the image of a flying Chicken Snack Wrap dragon appeared. Remember that? It was basically his Main Thing at the start of the novel, but quietly faded into irrelevance. Until now!
>All of this takes some time to describe, but actually happened in the space of only a few breaths.
>"What! Impossible!"
>Meng Hao wanted to summon the parrot as well, but it was too overcome with eroticism by the purple fur depicted on a nearby poster of Grimace, and was busy drilling out a glory hole straight through the poster, and the wall it was pinned to, with its strong parrot erection.
>But it was more than enough. The Hamburglar's soul flew out and was absorbed into his mask! He screamed as his body was destroyed completely.
>Meng Hao brushed off his robe and swept up his spirit coupons and everyone's bags of holding which probably didn't have any cool sh*t inside unless I write him into a corner later, and anyways, don't worry about it for now. He surveyed the rubble that was all that remained of the McDonald's.
>"Guess I'll be taking that Happy Meal... to go!"

Eh I don’t think he should have stormed out of the bar with the cute girl and her friend. Everyone knows we all do stupid shit before hitting our early 20s, so he should have used that to his advantage and responded with something like
>well that’s because I found another book to base my entire life on
>oh yeah anon? what’s that
>Pretentious Angst by Ernest Milton
It’s evident that this guy is still not comfortable with himself four or five years down the line, which isn’t really a good trait to have on the dating market if you’re a man in your early 20s
