Dating advice for nerds, geeks, engineers and shy people

Recommended Posts

What sort of dating advice do you have?

Here some things I've found so far:

[COLOR=blue]Dating advice for engineers: â??The first rule of dating is to be yourself -- Thatâ??s not going to work for you.â? Thatâ??s the key to this videoâ??s advice on dating for engineers:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue]Dating advice for women engineers: [/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue]My husband sent me a link featuring a video covering dating advice for engineers. I want to start by saying that the video was very amusing, so the following is in no way meant as disparaging. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]However, it was also very guy-centric, and I wondered what sort of dating advice might be useful for female engineers (which, the video says, are hypotheticalâ?¦like Bigfoot).[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue][/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]So my advice would be:[/COLOR]

[LIST]
[*][COLOR=blue][B]Ignore any guy who says that female engineers are unattractive. Heâ??s just bitter because he canâ??t find a date.[/B] Itâ??s karma. Heâ??s probably also an engineer.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue]Youâ??ll probably want to date another engineer, or maybe a scientist. Otherwise you wonâ??t have anything to talk about. (Well, maybe if you have hobby in common. HAM radio, anyone?) And saying things like â??Higgs Bosonâ? will be just fine.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue]Youâ??ll probably want to date another engineer because, given your salary, youâ??re likely to make a non-engineer somewhat jealousâ?¦unless heâ??s a lawyer or doctor, but then you run into the conversation problem again.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue]Ask your friends for advice on clothesâ?¦but donâ??t wear anything that doesnâ??t make you comfortable. [B]If youâ??re dating an engineer, donâ??t worry about your clothes.[/B][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue][B]Itâ??s perfectly fine to ask a guy out.[/B] If heâ??s the shy, nerdy type, thereâ??s a chance heâ??ll really appreciate it. If heâ??s an engineer, heâ??s probably also clueless and anything more subtle will be off his radar.[/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue]Donâ??t date any guy who seems jealous of your career or other men. Think about it: youâ??re surrounded by men all the timeâ?¦how will he deal?![/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=blue][B]Make sure that if you enjoyed the date, you tell him youâ??d like to see him again.[/B] If heâ??s engineer, itâ??s probably a good idea to tell him specifically when and where otherwise he may not take the hintâ?¦or heâ??ll assume you mean immediately.[/COLOR]
[/LIST]
[COLOR=blue]Just so you know, I checked with my husband, who is also an engineer, and he verified that my advice about dating male engineers was sound.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue]Thereâ??s a happy ending, though, so hang in for the full video. [/COLOR]
