So you're dating a geek...

So you've lost a bet or you drank too much and you ended up dating a geek. Hopefully this guide will help you know what to expect.

First, you know how your VCR (or some other appliance) flashes 12:00 all the time? You will no longer have to worry about that butttttt you will have to worry about converting from Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) to local time in your head.

Second, Video Games, they were there first and they will be there after you leave. It's one of the few ways geeks get emotional satisfaction. Getting between a geek and his video game would be like interrupting one of your ice cream binges. If you want to talk to him or spend time with him, do it before or after the gaming session.

Third, Board Games, don't! One of you may not survive and the relationship is almost guaranteed not to. Relationships should be free from bloodshed and in this case this means no board games (especially not Risk).

Fourth, Geek Arguments, don't pick a side unless you are willing to defend it to the death. Han shot first and never mention Capt. Janeway.

Fifth, Talking, they saying you can tell if a geek is an extrovert if he looks at your shoes when he talks (as opposed to his own). If your geek says, "We need to talk," it's probably because you are still using IE.

Lastly, They are not toys! They are not dolls! And don't take 'em out of the box!
