Key factors in dating for geeks

The eternal importance of being… confident

It comes in the first place for you. Really. Whatever you’re doing on your date – do it with confidence. Or at least pretend that you are confident. Believe that geeks who lack confidence in their words and actions will be automatically recognized and marked by women as “nerds”. And that is a major turn-off by itself.

Even if you are doing something awkward or funny – do it in a stony-faced manner, so that it could save the situation with your sense of humor. Then, if you don’t know what to talk about – offer a conversation about the common interests and hobbies, but don’t get too far, talking about some specialized geek stuff that your date has no idea of.

Use the power of your observation

Geeks are the people who are often considered to be really good at concentrating at something and learning. So we guess it will be an easy task for you to develop some observation skills during your date and make them one of your strong points, right? In other words, just watch, listen, learn and then react and respond ad hoc.

Some of the most important things to be include: a) body language: it can tell you a lot about your partner’s emotions, state of mind and intentions; b) eye contact: our eyes use to subconsciously reveal what we are thinking about; c) physical contact: mind the red flags. Need we add anything here?

Being honest and direct

Straightforwardness may also be the key to your dating success. How? If you are going to ask someone at the free dating site to go for a date in real life, make sure that you offer that directly. Furthermore, if you feel some romance about anyone whom you would like to see as your potential dating partner on the web, don’t be chary of praise and compliments. Being honest means that you should immediately stop (or give up the idea of) pretending to be someone you’re actually not. This is a must-do thing for you, if you are intended to find someone who will like you for who you are. One of the best winning strategies for dating says that it is really easy to be yourself, especially with someone who can make it really easy for you to be yourself. It may sound a bit complicated, but it’s true.

Natural curiosity? Important as well

Here everything works simply. Ask about your date’s interests, likes, dislikes, tastes in music/movies/whatever else (see the passage about being confident). Anyone likes to be near someone who will listen to them and their stories besides their couch doctor. Relax, it’s a joke! Just take it all easy and have the dating fun.
