Ask an IT guy

Are you fat and ugly like my IT guy?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seriously, though, many of us are either involved or married. All depends on personality, I guess. Some of the IT crowd are as socially inept as the stereotypes dictate, and others are more socially averse than incapable. I was among the latter avoidant types for a while, until I realized that girls don't bite (well, not unless you want them to, and that's all behind-closed-doors stuff).

I'm kinda-sorta involved myself, though admittedly we met online and we still need to arrange an in-person meeting. The best times are when you can find a woman/man who's as much into technology as you are. There's NOTHING better than being able to talk about shell scripting with your significant other and, instead of getting eyerolls, get "uh, yeah, but you can do that in 5 fewer lines if you put that statement up there."

As for out-of-work time, I fix people's computers, but sure as hell not for free.

OH my God. Of COURSE the girl's not going to bite you if you haven't MET her. How could she?

Frickin' idiot.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
