Perhaps since the beginning of time, approaching a girl has been difficult for the average geeky male. The age of technology surely isn’t helping the situation, since nerds and introverts are drawn even deeper into the world of electronics, with minimal flesh-and-blood contact. Ultimately, guys of today still long to make that love connection. As an experienced woman with a fair share of past relationships and one lost love, my advice is to step out and go full nerd with an equal share of honesty. Any good-looking fellow with abundant confidence won’t need this kind of advice, which could be a disadvantage. The women a guy would tend to enjoy having around for the long haul appreciate honesty more than slick charm that lacks genuine animal attraction.
Nerdy Pickup Lines
The average pickup line, in my estimation, is gag-worthy. If, on the other hand, the line has a dose of innocent charm as well as humor that is not overly sexual, it opens real possibilities. With the right delivery and timing, this line from Harding’s Modern Pickup Lines can be a winner: “I’ll hold your hand tighter than I hold my phone when I’m in the bath.” Below are more suitable nerd pickup lines, depending on the situation. Authors are unknown:
- I would flirt with you, but I’d rather seduce you with my awkwardness.
- If you won’t let me buy you a drink, at least let me fix your laptop.
- Feels like I’m reading a book right now because you are fine print.

A Few Flirting Tips
Connecting with a girl / woman involves flirting on some level, but this doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Some would define flirting in a very specific way, but one size does not fit all. At its best, it is accurate to say that flirting should be:
- Friendly and
- Light with a measure of
- Teasing.
It can be an intoxicating mix when you are yourself entirely, relatively comfortable in your own skin, and genuinely attracted to the object of your affection. Of course, there has to be some chemistry. A geek can never know if he doesn’t try.
