đź’– How to Get a Geeky Girlfriend
(2018-style post)
Ah, the eternal question. And let’s get one thing straight: I’m not here to hand out some magic formula that guarantees someone will fall for you. If that existed, I’d probably be retired on a JoJo-shaped yacht somewhere. No, this is about finding someone who shares your weird passions and actually wants to talk about them without rolling their eyes.
Here’s what I’ve learned over the years:
1. Be genuinely into your own hobbies
Nothing is more attractive than someone who actually loves what they do. Whether it’s sketching, collecting action figures, or marathon-watching obscure anime, show your enthusiasm. Passion is magnetic — and if you’re faking it, it shows.
2. Find your scene
Conventions, local art groups, online fan communities, tabletop gaming nights — these are places where like-minded people naturally gather. Hanging out in spaces you enjoy means you’re more likely to meet someone with compatible interests. Bonus: you already have conversation starters.
3. Respect boundaries and personalities
Just because someone likes comics or video games doesn’t mean they’re automatically “your type.” Pay attention to personality, humor, and energy, not just fandom overlap. A shared interest can spark connection, but compatibility runs deeper.
4. Contribute, don’t just consume
Create, participate, share. Show off your sketches, make a funny meme, or write a short fanfic. Being part of the community makes you memorable — and it’s a great way to meet someone organically rather than “sliding into DMs” with a generic line.
5. Don’t rush or obsess
Finding someone who clicks can take time, especially in fandoms where people skew younger or are spread across the globe. Focus on building friendships, enjoying the community, and honing your own skills. Romantic connections often show up when you least expect them.
Bottom line: A geeky girlfriend isn’t about tricks or pickup lines. It’s about showing up authentically, enjoying the things you love, and finding someone whose weirdness complements yours. If JoJo, Zelda, Marvel, or board games are your thing, chances are there’s someone out there who’ll geek out right alongside you — and probably make you laugh while doing it.
