this is just something that i've been wondering, but, with all the usual stereotypes that geeks can never get a date or anything, how many of us here are in a relationship?
sorry if i offended anyone, i'm just kind of curious 
for the first time in my life, i have an official girlfriend (there were some instances where i thought me and a friend of mine were going out...and she apparently didn't realize i thought that. hurts 'cause i love her dearly  ) |
Well first off a hearty congrats to you! May it last a long time, and produce memories that you can treasure forever and always turn to for comfort when life gets tough.
I can sympathize with the "going out but not" thing. Up until two weeks ago I was going out with this girl, thought we were headed towards a real relationship and then found out that we weren't (to make a long story short). I'm ever hopeful though that something will work out (after reading the Republic Commando novels I've come to the conclusion my real-life nickname should be "Atin" because I am quite stubborn).
All things considered I would say what happened recently is probably the best negative experience I've had on the dating scene since it ended up more or less mutual parting so the emotional damage was relatively easy to contain.
Anyway, for me my problem of getting dates probably isn't so much being geeky so much as either 1) too focused on my work to do much social stuff, thus meeting dateable girls is somewhat problematic, 2) lacking the courage to ask the girl out or 3) getting the courage to ask the girl out but finding out that I took too long or she already has/had a boyfriend.
