There are two different kinds of geeks: those that take the blue pill and the ones that take the red…and depending upon which color you subscribe to; your interaction with the world at large (and the l33t ladies within it) will vary widely.
Take the blue pill and you’ll find that you’re unable to stop talking in social situations. You may not even be conscious of it, but to other observers they can see the looong green lines of code just spilling out of your mouth without end. Take the red pill and you’re so cripplingly shy, you can’t seem to talk to anyone. You just wander thorough various social situations as an observer.

Sure, you could take a girl to dinner and a movie…if that dinner happens to be at Ninja and the movie is Predators. But, why not invite her out to something that will really catch her eye? After all, geeky girls love limited edition items…give her a one of a kind date to remember:
1. Pretend like your Dr. Who and take your companion on an amazing trip through the stars! Invite the lady out to your local planetarium or history museum–like San Francisco’s Academy of Science or Philly’s Franklin Institute — clad in your scarf or bow tie (depending on your doctor of choice) and she’s sure to swoon. (And, she may even touch your sonic screwdriver.) You’ll even get bonus points if you read up on astrophysics and can lend some geeky tidbits about the doppler red shift effect and string cosmology…after all, the Doctor’s had 907 years to learn it all. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Better jump in your Tardis now!

In some ways the Apple app store is one of the greatest retail platforms ever invented; it gave the ability for anyone to make an application for their iOS platform and sell it to the public. But in some ways it’s also one of the worst. Don’t get me wrong, I am not one of those guys hoping to get some hits by throwing some wood on the ol’ I hate Apple bonfire, and I am not talking about bars or death grips either. I have a legitimate beef, and trust me, I love my iPad. [..]

Ten years ago the internet was just starting to get its game on attracting people and businesses alike. The one thing I recall the most, from that time period, was the mass emphasis on internet anonymity. Parents, teachers, and sponsored commercials all warned of the dangers of using your real name or information online. For years it was common practice to sign up on every new website with a fake name, fake address, and if possible an email account that was only used to sign up for things.

Expanding upon the idea that geeky girls will develop a +1 to attraction when meeting a guy who isn’t afraid or doubtful of her interests in all things nerdy you can increase your stats even further by treating her like “one of the guys.” Now, I know this sounds A) weird and B) counter-intuitive to your ultimate goal of hooking up with a hot chick, but–trust me–most ladies of the geek persuasion will love it!

You’ve heard it from your parents, partner, teacher, and/or parole officer: gamers spend WAY too much time, well, gaming. But, there’s one game that we spend playing more than any RTS, RPG, or FPS and it effects all of the other games we love to play: the waiting game.

Dating in the digital age is hard. It’s complicated. The old rules don’t apply. And it’s completely exposed for the public to weigh in. Listen up, sista, because you’re a digital Ms. Jen Aniston for the interwebs to focus on for 15 seconds. [..]
