I don't know how many of you are dating out there. Not to rub your face-in-it, but I am kind of dating one (and yes, dating is a pain-in-your-ass, pardon my french!). I am not here to talk about my experiences in this, sticky field which most men believe is a ticking time bomb and females believe is slow torture (yet everybody seems to either engage or want to engage in one!) but to talk about something which I guess only some will be able to relate to. Dating a nerd. Yes, I am. And to be honest, it is fun! Let me describe him. Awkward walk. Big nose. Looms over me. Talks very little. Uses words that I don't understand. Talks shop all the time. Loves to explain things. Quiet. Well-read. Loved studying. My very own nerd. Dating one isn't easy, but here are some of the best things about dating one (you know the crazy ass things that makes you stick around n all).
Patience: One of the best things about nerds is that they are very very patient. In fact, I have till date not met a nerd who was impatient or had a easy your-pushing-me-too-far point. I know it sounds trivial, but for a person like me, dating a guy who is patient is amazing. He can take my tantrums, doesn't run when I ramble (I guess that is more cause he doesn't know how to!) and can endure all my hyper activity without blinking an eye-lid (and that is very very difficult, just ask any of my teachers or better yet, my mom). Having a patient guy is such a help. And he wouldn't mind waiting if your running late either.
Rock solid advice: Another amazing thing about nerds is that they usually have an analytical mind. They are the best people to approach when you are confused (in my case twice every hour), and just get some sane advice at the end of the day that will make you less lost in your life. Nerds also, usually, have a vast pool of knowledge about varied subjects and this helps them help you make informed decisions.
Quirks: This is why they are oh so adorable. All nerds have these little twitches and quirks. Mine talks with his hands, and makes this really exasperated face when I bug him, (which I do often enough), and hates it when I go around playing with his big nose (yes I mean nose). Now that I have mentioned it, I love pressing his nose, and making the beep noise, like car or something. This usually bugs him to death, and I do love the look. And it is, going to repeat myself here, adorable. Obsessive about movies, his quirks are quiet fun at times.
Hidden qualities: This is believe me the best thing about dating a nerd. You never know what is about to come next. There are so many layers to these people, that you get to discover something every day. And it is oh-so-difficult to not get pleasantly surprised at times. Having these hidden qualities is how the nerd is able to score brownie points over the tough guy, or the baseball player, who usually are easy to figure out (no offense to the tough ones or players out there!) Usually nerds have more than one sides and that is the best part of dating him. Discovering all the angles is fun!
