HOW DO ALL THESE COMMENTING FANTASTIC PEOPLE NOT HAVE BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS?

I'm starting a dating service. For nerdfighters. No more forever aloners.

XD Don't mind me, I'm just tired.

1. I wish I knew, I believe it's a repressed memory at this point

2. My $200 blazer in which I have never worn

3. A pilot lawyer of some sorts

4. The characters in the books in the library were/are my friends

5. Boy: Xander Girl: Christy or Stella

1. In the terms of first french: It was on the walking track above our school pool with a foreign exchange student from Montenegro.

2. If you consider a suit casual then I shall too.

3. I have red hair... Isn't it obvious? Firefighter.

4. We were the little trouble-making smart kids that toted around an "awkward" friend that was the punchline to all of our antics.

5. Boy: Leaf, because of my Scandinavian background. Girl: Harper Lee, after the author of To Kill a Mockingbird

[KaishaLouise129]

1. No :(

2. I don't actually buy my own clothes, I take my mums, and the ones I do buy are cheap. I spend all my money on DVDs and books.

3. I came home from school on my 1st day, and wanted to be a teacher.

4. I had a group of Harry Potter geeks, and a group of 'weirdos' in the year below, but they were awesome. In Sixth Form, its anyone.

5. I want 2 daughters, one of which will be called Alice Violet Persephone Jayne (or Grace). I like long names. I wouldn't know what to do with a boy.

And two weeks later, she looked at this comment and went "what?" then "oh. ok."

So often they are interlinked. Wait, what? Ahhh!

@saraheljensen High school drama is the best! Nothing beats a nap on the floor between performances. My best friend is gay otherwise that would have been us :)

I hope many of you change your ideas about names to something semi-normal before you have kids. Seriously, studies show people with more normal names tend to be more successful in life. I mean some creativity is great, but don't name your kid "Epic". I met an Epic, not cool guys!

1. Not counting 2nd grade (yes that was with tongue, and it was the 1st grader's idea) it was with an old Turkish guy in Istanbul when I was 18

2. $200 hiking boots

3. I was very pragmatic, "I'm too young to know what I want to be" In high school I gained the ambitions of an 8 year old and decided on dolphin trainer

4. Drama kids and library nerds, also summer camp kids!

5. Boy: Jack Girl: Elizabeth?

[HeartlessKid15]

1) I was 14, we were at the park, it was nighttime, the stars were out, he put his arm around me and kissed. Ver romantic, except for the fact that I was planning on breaking up with him at night... 2) I once spent $40 on an amber necklace. 3) a fish. 4) I kind of hang out with all sorts of people. 5) girl: Andromeda boy: Arathorn.

[calliope720]

1. A friend of the same sex in 8th grade who was distraught that my crush wouldn't kiss me that she decided to do it herself. Kind of sweet, in retrospect...

2. I really don't do expensive but my friend convinced me to buy a dress for 140 once. Never again.

3. Weirdly? A storm chaser. I often remember this out of the blue and feel more awesome.

4. I tended to float between shy religious kids, outrageous punk kids, and old school nerds.

5. Girl: Sagan, Boy: Harper. No, those aren't switched.
