One thing that I’ve found out in life is that geeks are most often also hopeless romantics. Coming from personal experience I know that being a social retard AND a hopeless romantic is not equatable function. So, geeks with their over-reactive imaginations can visualize the most incredible scenarios, only to never act on them. However when one geek falls in love with another geek, watch out. Their little self-contained universe of the ability to live out their geek love fantasies will never make sense to outside parties looking in. But to them, the universe never made more perfect sense.

The other seemed to be on perfect par with me in every way, except we couldn’t stand each other (”Oh hai. U date mirror?”).
