During that era, I told a (first) date one time that I was a bit of a nerd. She responded by gasping and saying "No you're not! Never say that about yourself! You seem really cool!" And I knew right then it would not work out between us. π
Nerd culture in the early 2010s was a weird time, I remember the time I talked to a guy who had recently graduated from MIT at a party and told him my dad was an engineer too, and, you know, Iβm something of a nerd myself, and he DREW OUT A LOGIC PUZZLE for me to solve and said βProve it.β
