11 Things Everyone Dating A Geek Will Understand

Having a geeky boyfriend has its perks along with the moments of confusion when things will just go over your head. A geek is defined as having an abnormal devotion to a particular interest (the most common one now would be tech). Here are things anyone dating a geek will understand:


1. They solve problems instead of creating them.

I have realized time and time again that my boyfriend will solve problems before they even start. Problem solving is part of a geek's everyday life when it comes to technology. Geeks are always trying to solve problems or find more efficient ways to take care of things they do on a regular basis. They are always doing the best that they can possibly do to fix any problem that may come their way.

2. You probably know the latest technology out there.

I cannot count how many times I have heard about the latest iPhone and the newest video game along with the best and worst things of every Windows and iOS update out there. And don't get them started on Windows Vista — they will not stop complaining about how it is the worst thing Windows ever came up with.

3. If video game cases are not perfect, they will not buy it.

I have heard so much crap on Gamestop and the used game section just because they give out crappy game cases. Another thing, any PS3 game in a red case is automatically worthless. My boyfriend keeps his video game collection in perfect condition and takes pride in the games he has.

4. Video game dates are welcomed warmly.

Who wants dinner and a movie when you can stay at home and play "Call of Duty" and eat pizza with your geeky boyfriend? Staying home and cuddling on the couch and watching him play video games amuses me as well. Watching a football game that you don't understand is not a problem when you date a geek.

5. If you have a tech question, they are your go-to guy.

Your laptop crashes and you don't know why? Call your boo and they'll have the answer for you! I can't count how many times I have texted or called my boyfriend just to ask him a question related to some kind of technology.

6. They are romantic, you just have to get it out of them.

Geeks are not ones to be openly romantic. The mushy-gushy stuff can be difficult at first; but you know they can be more romantic than even they give themselves credit for. I remember when my boyfriend and I first started dating and he kept telling me he didn't know how to be romantic — soon after I found that his "romantic" is much different than anyone else's "romantic" and that is OK. He is still romantic all the same.

7. His friends are not as stuck up as you probably think.

Geeks are some pretty sweet people, and they are not anything like those jocks that beat you up in high school. They are super nice and welcoming. I have never felt more welcomed in a group of people than I have with my boyfriend's friends. They do not think that just because you are a girl that you are a prize to be shown off — you are just a normal person and in this group of geeks, a majority of them have girlfriends as well — you will not be the only girl.

8. They are not possessive (and if so, very rarely).

They most likely trust you unless you have personally given them a reason not to. You have a guy friend you want to hang out with? No problem! You want to hang out with him in a T-shirt and jeans? Go ahead! They are probably just really happy to be with you. Just be you and don't change who you are just to make them happy because chances are, they are already ecstatic to be with you.

9. They are super caring.

They care for you like they care for their technology. You are like a collector's edition PlayStation system to them. They care about your well-being. They like you for you and they won't change it because you put on a couple pounds or because you don't wear make-up in front of them. They care for you because you are you — it's that simple.

10. They understand your sense of humor.

I have found it nearly impossible to find anyone in this huge world that can understand my strange sense of humor — until I found my geeky boyfriend and his group of friends. We all seem to have the same sense of humor and maybe that makes me a geek as well, but if so, I don't care. It really just means a lot to have a group of people to understand my odd humor.

11. They will understand you better than anyone else could ever begin to understand you.

Pretty self explanatory, but I have never had someone understand me as much as my boyfriend. He is so down to earth and observant that he understands my body language before I can even tell him something is wrong.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
