I don't just want any girl that likes me, I want a nerdy girl that I can talk to about nerdy things! But I can never seem to find them! I feel like a hunter that has been looking for a rare and elusive species with little to no luck. I go to my local hobby shop but sad to say I rarely see women there. In fact I have never seen women there unless its a Magic the Gathering night, but even then the ratio is about 4 men to every 1 woman and most of the women who attend are there with their boyfriends supporting their hobby. I don't even know where to start! This was so easy in high school when all I had to do was say "Hi" and talk to a young lady. I'd see her almost every day and it could slowly grow into something and often did! Now that I'm 20 (about to turn 21) this has gotten a heck of a lot harder! Its not as simple as walking past her locker to see what pictures she has hung up. I can no longer stop and start a conversation about her cool Ravenclaw picture.

[QUOTE="Gfreak2x9, post: 6186974, member: 6707306"] It said in the description that we could post personal stuff here so I go! I am a Nerdy young man who works almost full time (I average about 36 hours a week) and ever since I graduated high school finding the right girl has been quite the struggle. I don't just want any girl that likes me, I want a nerdy girl that I can talk to about nerdy things! But I can never seem to find them!
