And I hope y’all know that I meant that Seige said it better than I did. Definitely Seige said it better! 
YESH! Quadruple for me! Librarians RULE!
Oh yeah, and I’ve also got red hair, like the Dom librarian from Tomcats. Do I win? 
“You’ve been a bad boy…you turned in your library book late.” - WHACK!
How you doin’? 
cranks eyes back into sockets
So… whats the shortest checkout time your library offers?
On Preview… curse you QED once again math is my downfall!
So, does this glasses wearing nerdy librarian thing work the other way too?
:eek:
Who needs Enzyte when you’ve got that?
THEN WHY DID YOU ASK FOR OUR OPINIONS YOU JACKASS?
You only like what Seige had to say because it’s what you wanted to hear. Nice how you totally IGNORE the 4 pages telling you otherwise.
Jerk. I hope she turns you down.

First of, thanks for the compliments, all of you, but I do have one nitpick since I’m feeling cranky tonight. (Leave it alone – I’m straight and the “C” is lower case!) The name is Siege. I know. I couldn’t spell it either, at first. Look at it this way: at least you never had to go groveling to a moderator to ask them to change your handle to its correct spelling! :wally
Second, catsix, you misunderstand me. I know eligible, straight, male geeks. More to the point, I can even tell you why at least one of them is still eligible and why you’re better off if he stays that way, and which ones aren’t quite as eligible as they appear. I can tell you which hotel to find a couple hundred or so geeks of various sexes and degrees of eligibilty, and I’ll give you the website for Pittsburgh Geeks. The website has the date and time of their next Geek Night. You’re welcome to any of the eligible, straight, male geeks but one. I’m also expecting a couple of eligible male geeks at that Games Night I mentioned, and I know I’m making Strawberries Bonaparte. Now, shall we commence negotiations?
Shakes, Angel of the Lord gave you good advice. I’ll warn you of one other thing. This nerd girl of yours could shoot you down. If the impression you give in real life is like the impression you gave at the start of this thread, she may think this is a pity date and want nothing to do with you. I went through a period when I didn’t date at all rather than risk dating and being humiliated (hopefully, she’s in better shape than I was in those days!). I’m not sure how much I’ve seen here is ego and how much is bravado, but can you handle it and not be insulting or insulted if she turns you down? I hate to break it to you, lad, but that is a possibility.
I’ll also remind you of the movie Revenge of the Nerds. Remember the cheerleader’s reaction to the nerd guy? Ponder that, deeply. There’s a lot of truth to it!
By the way, NoClueBoy, you know the sentiment is returned because of and in spite of what you did Monday night!

I meant to add yosemite gave you good advice, too.
By the way, Shakes, I do want to make one thing clear. The reason I advised you to prepare yourself for being shotdown is, from what I’ve seen of you here, if I were nerd girl, that’s what I’d do. Sorry to break it to you, but that’s one more woman’s opinion. Maybe I would be missing God’s gift to nerd girls everywhere; the god I worship does have a sense of humour. On the other hand, if you can’t miss what you haven’t had, you can’t regret it, either.
CJ
Sorry about that, Siege, I have an i and e problem.
Those Geek Nights seem kind of interesting.
Also, those of you who were counting geek girls who also like their bars and beers, me 100.
I have a feeling there’s another BBS out there where a cute and intelligent girl is telling people there is an insecure guy at work who obviously likes her, but won’t make a move… and she dreads the day he does, because she’ll have to politely decline, mostly because she suspects his emotional maturity.
As for nerdy girls, I recommend you get one for yourself, as long as it isn’t my nerdy girl.
You’re a nine-ball shooter and consider yourself a nerd? I would have thought the two were mutually exclusive, but that’s just me and my personal experiences. I’ll defend to the death your right to be a nerdy nine-baller if that’s what you want.
Now, poker/nerd I can believe.
I didn’t bother to read 4 pages (right now…) of this drivel… SHAKES, if you’re such an amazing specimen of manhood, how could you ever find time from your busy dating (shagging) schedule to offer a mercy date. God, what a trooper you are! You must be a god among men!
:wally
[Shaking apoplectically] DRIVEL!!! Why, I otta…
Oh. It’s you. 'Sup, Six?
'Sup, NCB? If it was you who started this thread we woulda ASSUMED your studliness!
Well, I’m sure this is going to make alot of people happy. She absolutely DID turn me down.
So go figure.
And there was much rejoicing.
Yaaaaay!
The girl has taste.
SHAKES, thanks for the update. I didn’t think you’d post that. Maybe there is hope for you!
Good for her.
And if you learn something from this, and ask out girls because you like them and not because you pity them, I’ll say good for you too.
SHAKES - sorry you got the turndown.
SHAKES, I am a guy who was (is) nerdy in the day, but still had a “confident sense of self”. As I read all of this - and it took a while - I was struck by a key thought:
There appears to be a disconnect between how you feel about yourself and how you express yourself.
In some ways, you seem to be a nice guy - you ask for advice, you struggle with feedback and acknowledge things you did wrong. You acknowledge that you like the nerdgirl, if only as a friend and you tell us you got turned down, knowing that there is going to be a dogpile on you. What I read into that is that you are a reasonably young guy, trying to figure out what the right thing is and wanting to think of yourself as a good guy.
What I got out of reading your posts was that you are cocky and condescending, using un-PC as an excuse to say and think and behave in a thoughtless manner.
While most of other Dopers slapped you - and that had to hurt, but at least you came back - there is something to be learned from it. And given the fact that she turned you down, maybe that is another data point for you to consider.
So my question is: What can you do, SHAKES, to find a way to feel good - confident, not cocky - about yourself, yet be more thoughtful in how you talk and behave with others, especially girls?
One idea? Ask nerdgirl out for coffee and ask for her advice…
