Not that many people want to talk to us, but geeks are notoriously difficult to communicate with, let alone flirt with or seduce. It's a myth that we all watch Star Trek. And we're just as likely to be reading James Joyce or ee cummings as a Manga comic.
So, without having to get into the world of computers and networks, what can ordinary people do to avoid embarrassment and frustration when attempting to land a geek (male or female)?
Answer: FAKE IT:
Tell us Geek jokes:
The ultimate, completely perfect joke is
Q: What goes "pieces of seven! pieces of seven!"
A: A parotty error.
Talk about 6 degrees of freedom:
Hi, I'm Joe. My Kevin Bacon number is forty eight.
Use the 'B' word
I moved town so I could be closer to the Backbone.
Never, ever:
* Say "dubble yoo dubble yoo dubble yoo". Miss it out.
* Ask for a phone number. URL's only.
* Make puns on the word "bit", "byte", or "Ram". We never use those words.
These simple tricks will allow you to easily win over and bring home any geek or geekess you may have your eye on.
After that, you're on your own. Unless you hide the PC in the attic.
