I've been googling this during times when I have nothing better to do, as I am keeping my eyes open for such a man. Although I have never been in a relationship, I think a somewhat dorky or nerdy guy would probably match well with me. I wanted to share some of the tips I found on my searches. Though I plan to try a few out, note that some of the advice was more humorous than helpful.
1) Go to restaurants, the same ones, regularly.
Nerdy guys don't and cannot cook, so they eat out a lot. Also, because they like routine, they tend to frequent the same restaurants.
2) Hang out at "cons."
Comic/Anime cons, Star Trek conventions, video game cons as well as other such sci-fi, technology-ish conventions attract nerdy guys, apparently.
3) Do online dating.
They don't get out much, you know.
4) Try to catch one's eye at the library or bookstore.
I don't know. The library attracts non-nerds too. Students and people who just don't want to pay for books go there.
5) Approach him.
They're too shy and nervous to approach any women, especially one as attractive as you! Well, I'm not one to just go up to guys I find cute. We'll be stuck admiring each other from afar!
6) Join online forums, especially relating to nerdy things.
Again, they seem to have no social skills and do their best communicating online.
7) Go to a technical college.
Too late. I graduated already.
8) Or go to a lecture that's open to the public or take a continuing education adult course at a college.
Nerds are lifelong learners.
9) Hang out at a comic book shop.
Do those still exist? The big chains have manga and comic sections now. I thought they put the comic stores out of business.
10) Hang out at the record shop for a music geek.
One that hasn't closed down, that is.
11) Hang out in the technology section of a store, or even better, a computer store.
If you're into computers and technology, do it. Don't fake being interested in technology.
12) Go to a nice bar.
Nerds like to drink too, but they won't be at the meatmarket.
Love this list! Nerdy guys are the best guys.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the comment you left on my blog re: attachment parenting...that's exactly how I feel about it! You took the words right out of my mouth.
Wow again I love your posts, this one was funny! I'm a black nerd too and I have been in the middle of looking for dimes and failing to meet "available" black or mixed nerdy women (who are devoted christians). While I'm not a master in the area of attraction this I do know, regardless of what you percieve yourself to be (nerd, geeks, thug etc.) What really makes a person worthwhile is there conviction and willingness to look at the person's heart. 1 Sam 16:7
ReplyDelete7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
From our heart is where we find the person's character. I believe the Lord will lead a good man for you soon, just continue to focus on your relationship with him.
