Tales of Geek Dating: Im a Dick, Im a Addicted to Warcraft.

CIMG0140_croppedI seriously think there should be a support group for the girlfriend’s of WoW players. Am I right?

November 23, 2004 marked the beginning of the end for many girlfriends (and boyfriends) out there. The end of a social life, the end to a size 28 waist, and the end of a sex life!

My boyfriend and I had only been dating for almost 5 months and he had continuously been telling me about this game called World of Warcraft. You know, being a guy and everything, I thought this was just a typical video game where he would play for a month, beat it, and be done with it. But oh no, was I so fucking wrong.

Tales of Geek Dating: Before WoW came along, there was the first date

wow_shirt

July 7th 2004 marked the very first official date. When I say “official” though, I mean a date where I wasn’t running around with a dude 4 years older than me behind my father’s back.

For your information at that time I was 17 years old and my love was 21. Yeah I know, It’s literally Dateline NBC’s “How to Catch a Predator” status.

Anyway, being our first date that meant the man had to meet my very traditional, conservative, and worst of all, Filipino father. For those of you who have dated a Filipino girl, I bet all of you out there are all groaning and nodding knowing what it is like to deal with that. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to know, there are two opinions to dating a Filipino girl. 1.) you date without the parents knowing, meaning having to lie and sneak around or 2.) date, with the parents knowing BUT dating with a shitload of limitations! And when I say shitload, I mean A SHIT LOAD. In other words, you might as well go back to option 1.

Dear Jamie,

I can’t find any girls that I’m interested in: they are either too dumb or too ugly. I have never been with a girl. Are my standards too high?

7 Reasons Why Spock Would Make a “Prosperous” Lover

First things first.

This post is not about Leonard Nimoy. This post is DEFINITELY NOT about Zachary Quinto. This post is about Spock and why I wouldn’t mind having a little bit of (perhaps half) Vulcan in me.

Friend Zone Dilemma: What NOT to Do After Rejection

Sometimes a guy will man up and try to escape the Friend Zone. And usually, this guy flawlessly fails. Here is a small set of guidelines to follow upon being rejected:

 

1. Don’t hold a grudge.
Generally, it’s a terrible idea to feel animosity towards someone for not returning emotional feelings. For example, do not fucking watch her web show and act like a stupid little 5’3” bitch in the chat room. Holding a grudge will just push her further away, and you’ll never be able to re-establish your friendship.

 

2. Don’t try to be friends immediately.
It’s not going to work. Don’t ask me why. It just won’t. Just let the emotions settle down for a little bit. If she doesn’t think you guys should talk anymore, don’t push against it. You need to (seemingly) get over her before you can be friends again.

 

3. Don’t dwell on her.
Rejection doesn’t mean the end of the world. I know that she seemed like she would be a perfect girlfriend for you. However, you won’t be able to find out how many more perfect-er girls are out there if you spend all of your time crying about her.

 

4. Don’t try to get through to her through people close to her.
Since you guys aren’t talking to each other anymore, you become best friends with her little brother? Don’t do that. It’s so fucking awkward.

 

5. Don’t worry about it.
A relationship is impossible unless there’s a spark coming from both ways. It’s unfortunate that she didn’t feel the spark, but that’s just the way it is sometimes. It doesn’t mean that you’re an unattractive person, it just means that she didn’t see you in that kind of light. Chin up, soldier.
