But the lack of reality during this pickup ritual is what threw me off from the start. The guy is boring and awkward. The girl is flirty and expressionistic. In real life, the girl would be turned off by his inability to keep her interested and hop on to the next guy. But for some reason she chose to spent all night talking about nothing with this bore. It was like they were forced to go on a blind date and felt obligated to spend hours with each other, even though the chick wasn't interested at all. This was a prime example of what 'zero chemistry' looks like.

Yes, they had zero chemistry and it's an intentional story choice. Not every relationship should work, and not all people are meant to be together.
If you watch all the episodes, it will become clear why that scene is there. The main character may seem boring at first, but you find as the story develops he's a deep and interesting character -- and the "opposites attract" aspect of his relationship with his girlfriend is deeply explored. No scene is wasted. By the end of the season, you'll look back on their chat in the bar in a whole different light. They should have never gotten together in the first place, but she's an important part of his character development. If all of this goes over you head, then don't bother watching the rest and go back to picking your ass crack.
