"I don’t feel like I have a lot of offer relationship-wise (I’m a boring nerd who spends too much time on the computer) but I have a strong desire for female companionship and the emotion that goes with it (ie I love foreplay and cuddling and all that)." Sounds like a conflict of interest. But then, I dunno why people have to be all serious mode all the time. Why must people go into things hoping for something long term? Is it so wrong to approach it casually as in "whatever happens happens" because neither necessarily expects it to last? Of course, when a girl offers friends with benefits it's totally cool but when a guy wants it he's an asshole. Double standards for the win. He did think about that.

Then you just answered your own question. Speaking as another woman in a tech field, Jamie is right on about this one. Why is it always about what you want from the girl, and nothing about what you have to offer her? Y'all should think about that. “She’s a pretty cool girl but I’m not *that* into her, you know?”
