There was a girl on my dorm floor back then who was similarly obsessed with "Magic: The Gathering," and we would play long into the night. Or at least I thought she was similarly obsessed with "Magic: The Gathering." It wasn't until much later that I found out she had actually been trying (and failing, because I'm me) to get me into bed

Nerd courtship is a terrible thing to witness

@jalefkowit I once described to my then-wife some interactions with one of my teenage years female friends, and she (wife) flat out told me “she was trying to get you on a date”, which until that moment had literally never occurred to me.

@mwyman Some "ohhhhh" moments are kinda nice. But that is not one of them

@APBBlue On the plus side, it gave me some empathy for the millions of women who every day have to feign interest in their crushes' dumbass hobbies

@jalefkowit There really needs to be a manual on how to ask someone for a date.

@obot50549535 I eventually learned that a reliable if un-stylish way is to ask the person "hey, wanna go on a date?"
But it sure took me long enough to learn that

@jalefkowit I know way more about way more fantasy series and computer games than I care about.

@APBBlue Somewhere out there tonight is a woman who knows way more about model trains than she ever wanted to. And I feel for her
