If the number one comedy on prime time TV is any indication –the CBS show The Big Bang Theory holds the coveted title--nerds are experiencing a kind of cultural renaissance. Despite the increased popularity of sci-fi conventions, cos-play, and board games, finding a mate who shares a love of all things nerdy can still be a challenge. Enter the cupid of nerds, Ryan Glitch, the creator and president of “Sci-Fi Speed Dating.” Glitch launched his speed dating enterprise in 2010 at a Star Wars convention and he’s been making matches at cons ever since. IGN, a popular gaming and entertainment web site has created a web series about Ryan’s enterprise, called “Geek Love” which airs on their YouTube channel.
Can't make it to a convention but still need some advice on how to woo the nerd of your dreams? We found this song, written and performed by the adorable DeAnne Smith, that features quite a few daring pick-up lines (and a total rock star kitten.)
And don't forget to check out the full season of Geek Love on IGN's YouTube channel.
