[ I Like Your Nerd! Can I Have Him? ]
Dear Kip,
I seem to be in a bit of a pickle. One of my good friends (you can call her my best friend) is taking a debate class and since the beginning of the semester has been telling me about her debate partner. She has described him to me as ultra-nerdy and very smart.
My dilemma began this Friday night. My friend stopped by his apartment and afterwards they caught a movie together. We were supposed to meet up later that night so she invited me over. When I arrived I was surprised to see that he is a VERY good looking guy, albeit a little bit nerdy. His cousin was also there so we went out together for a couple of hours. His cousin quickly became infatuated with me and kept telling me all night how cute I am and how he is so privileged to meet me and actually talk to me. After the night was over I went home on my merry way and my friend stayed the night with the debate partner. She swears nothing happened, not even a kiss (and I do believe her).
The only problem is that I have developed a slight crush on him and think that we would be great together! So his cousins like me, and I like him and my friend likes him. Isn’t that a twisted triangle?
Saturday night my friend told me that she likes him but thinks I’d be a better fit for him. Although I do think she’d date him for a little bit… I doubt it would be a long term thing. I told her that if she decides to be just friends with him then she can send him my way. However, I must note that if anything happens between them two and it doesn’t work out, I will not date him at that point. Either me or her….. NOT BOTH!
So tell me Kip… what should I do?!

Dear WANTING MY OWN SLICE OF HEAVEN,
Your friend consented to you dating the nerd (when I use the word “nerd” I’m referring to nerds, geeks, & freaks), you are free to do so. If you are serious about dating him, you must hurry and save him from her before she defiles him!
Dating a nerd is very dangerous especially if he’s not domesticated. Nerds are a unique human breed and they literally live outside of this world. Their blood carries a lot more than just oxygen; it also carries a dangerous dose of Sci-Fi. Nerds are basically futuristic zombies.
Nerds come with a lot of relationship baggage. They’re current lovers are all sorts of things such as; magazines, computers, card games, movies, comic books, action figures, math books, and etc.
Nerds will cheat on you, just not with another girl — unless she is more nerdy than himself. Be prepared for your nerd to give you a “pet name” such as:
- Blackcat
- Cammy White
- Cylon #6
- Emma Frost
- Jean Grey-Summers
- Kitana
- Mary Jane Watson-Parker
- Misty
- Mrs robinson
- Princess Leia Organa
- Princess Peach
- Sailor Mars
- Seven of Nine
- Sonya
- Sub-Commander T’Pol
- Wilma Deering
- Zev
In the case that your nerd will need to defend you… Be prepared to be humiliated at first when he shows off his “Ninja moves.” After bitter defeat, he will get revenge for his defeat and dishonor thanks to household explosives (Who laughs last counts).
Nerd pornography (some examples below) will plague your relationship as well as other relationship problems. Nerds are used to their girlfriends having an on/off switch, which you don’t have. This will be puzzling for them as well as other things and concepts that their other girlfriends don’t have. The number one cause of death for nerds is “Boobshock” and “ICBSIR/ICBTIHARG (I can’t believe she is real/I can’t believe that I have a real girlfriend) shock.” You both will also need to overcome a language barrier since he probably mainly speaks Klingon. Your relationship is doomed without proper nerd rehabilitation (something similar to: cold rooster) and nerd domestication.

Is this the road that you want to take? At the end, it may all be worth it!. Only you can decide this. Good luck!

Hmmmm,
I say date the nerd for a while, he will teach you many different things, probably not the things you would be interested in, but at least your IQ will go through the roof. After that, simply say bye and walk away. Keep in mind, you cant break a nerds heart. Losing a girlfriend is like loosing a Xbox game to them, so dont worry about it. Next time you will see him he will act like nothing ever happened.
Good luck.
Remember, always go for test drives.
Hahaha paul you’re so cruel. That would crush the poor boys heart if a girl did that to him!!!
Hey you never know sometimes those nerdy guys surprise you. And not to mention some guys are just nerdy cuase they’re book smart.. not cause they’re into sci-fi or comic books lol
Yea, you’re right. But, why take the girls side? Those nerds are smart and can break a girls heart a lot faster and harder. You know, they expect everything to be top notch like their custom built PC and as we all know, no girl is perfect, so that should tell you something, a bye bye very fast….
hahahhaha I took that side because its the side you addressed in your post. And you’re right when it comes down to love no one is safe. The one more invested is the one who is set up for the most hurt, regardless of what they look like and their social status.
I think that when it comes to guys like that they have higher standards than those guys who chase the “popular” girls because they look for something deeper than skin deep. You know.. a lot of girls don’t have anything past their exterior.. and even that is fake!
Yep, i totally agree on your last sentence.
I went to school with these three guys, the smartest guys in school, thye very kinda geeky, well, yea, geeky, but one of them was a very social person and spent alot of time on computer at home, he didnt have a gf, i should say non of the 3 did even though they always talked about them. They could never find the perfect one even though alot of girls liked them.
But. after one of them graduated, he went to college for a 7 year degree to be a doctor and last time i seen him he was still single. I think they are smarter than most guys, they get settled first, good job, place to live than worry about a family. Not the kids that get married at 18.. that way once they are ready, they wont be flirting around and breaking womans hearts.
So after all being geeky isnt that bad…..
Look at you Paul.. you actually have good things to say about people
I am impressed honestly! 
Sometimes those guys who don’t openly draw a lot of attention from girls are oblivious to those girls around them who do want to be with them. Thats true. So you have two timid people.. one of them has to make the move right??
But I do love those guys who dont play around and dont set out to hurt as many hearts as possible. We all have plenty people in our life who make us cynical.. we don’t need any extras!
Geeky is definitely not bad.. its actually sexy!
Sort of like this guy?
Good song kip. Keep up the good work.
PS, we should all get together and make a video…
Count me out! Look at what happen to Serge (AKA: Britney)…
And what exactly happenned? lol
He has no friends now!
