Want to date a Geek?

by

Are you a geek or what some might consider a nerd? Have you had trouble finding a date using traditional big name dating services in the past? It’s no wonder if you have, as these sites don’t tend to match people by their interests or personalities as much as they do by looks.

Why don’t you visit Geek 2 Geek – Geek dating and give them a try?

At Geek 2 Geek you can list all of your interests and I mean all the ones that would be considered nerdy and that you’d likely not be able to select on a traditional dating site.

The creator of Geek 2 Geek, Spencer Koppel, started the service in 2004 when his daughter Laina was having trouble finding men with similar interests to date. Father and daughter created a set of profile questions that would be suitable for geeks. They also developed a scoring system that would match people according to what each person had listed as their most important dating criteria.

Geek 2 Geek has been making successful matches with their unique scoring system. Why not give them a try. You can sign up for a free account, create a profile and explore the features.





The guys were happy that day

The weekend before last my husbands brother came to visit from Chicago. We had a very busy few days and there were a lot of people in our house!

On the Sunday we went to the beach with some friends. It was raining, but it was such a hot day we didn’t mind and we also didn’t expect it to rain for very long. It turned out that it rained for at least three hours but we still spent some time sitting at the beach club, had some drinks and had an enjoyable time.

When the weather cleared up in the late afternoon my husband and his brother went for a dip in the lake. They had a nice swim and as you can see they appeared to be pretty happy when they emerged from the lake.

Actually, my husband gets along with his brother quite well and he’s always very happy when he gets a chance to see his brother, so I had a happy husband that week.

It’s funny how people change

This past weekend we had not only Chris’ brother and his kids from Chicago visiting, but Chris’ younger sister and her husband also came to visit and stayed over.

I find Chris’ sister and her husband a little funny these days. You see, back when Chris first moved to Toronto his brother in law (before he married Chris’ sister of course) was his college roommate. In fact, that’s how they first met and became close friends.

Chris’ sister used to come to Toronto regularly to have fun in the big city and we’d all get together and have a good time. Eventually Chris moved in with me and his sister got together with his roommate. Chris and I and his brother in law were all in the jewelry trade together, so even once we paired off into couples we still got together quite a bit since the jewelry industry is a close knit trade that’s very family like.

Now, Chris’ sister and her husband live in a small town southern Ontario. They’ve lived out that way for years. I think they’ve lived in a small town for too long though because they are now afraid of Toronto.

Chris sister told me no less than five times how many missing women there currently were in Toronto. She was wrong too, some of her tally were missing from other areas of the province. They were afraid of the crowds at the Taste of the Danforth, afraid of different cultures – we have a large Muslim population in our area, and just plain small minded.

I have no idea what happened to this pair to make them so afraid. They were true big city lovers no more than a decade ago. What changed in their lives to make them so closed off?

We all still have a good time when we get together, but my how they’ve changed!

There are nice people out there

My husband is a very happy man.

A wrote a post late last week about the Rick Wakeman concert that he wanted to get tickets for, but hadn’t yet, and a very nice man found my post and offered up his extra ticket.

Chris was out of town visiting his family when I received the kind mans message on Tuesday and I must admit that when Chris came home late Wednesday evening – much later than he was supposed to have come home, I forgot to tell him that he had a chance to go to the Rick Wakeman concert.

So yesterday as I was going through the email on my main computer I remembered that I’d saved the messages from the kind stranger and I asked Chris “Do you still want to go to that Rick Wakeman concert?” and he said “Hell Yes!” so I told him about that man that had offered the spare ticket – Free.

Chris was on the phone in minutes calling the mans number. They ended up talking on the phone for a while and it sounds like they’ll get along fine. That’s a good thing because I think the extra ticket was supposed to be for the mans wife but his wife didn’t want to see such an outdated musician (Rick Wakeman is the keyboardist from the band YES). It’s her loss. Chris is going.

I think they planned to meet up at a very cool Irish bar on the Danforth and then they’ll go to the Danforth Music Hall together.

I think they’ll have fun.

There’s always lots of things to complain about, but it’s really nice when someone randomly does something this nice.

My husband thinks I’m too sick for house guests

by

My brother called his brother this morning to tell him to shorten his visit at our house.

He did this because I had a terrible night. Obviously I was productive and got a lot of posting done on my sites, but I was in pain the whole time. When I finally tried to go to bed I was still in too much pain to sleep and was in fact still awake when my husband left for work at 9:30 this morning.

I slept, but got up at 2 pm so that’s not too much sleep. I’m sure that contributes to my continuous pain cycle. I think I need to actually be knocked out for several days in a row to reset my whole body.

Anyway, my husband called his brother to tell him how awful I’ve been feeling and to suggest that his visit at our house not be too long.

I feel terrible about that. I didn’t want him to tell his brother he can’t stay here long. They don’t get to see each other all that often and who am I to stop them.

As far as I’m concerned the three of them – Chris’ brother and his two teenage kids – can come and visit. If I’m not feeling well then I just won’t participate in whatever they are doing. I know my niece wanted me to go out with her on a big shopping spree, but I never really thought that would happen and now that I’m still feeling so horrible it won’t be happening, but there’s no reason to cancel or shorten their visit.

It looks like I’ll have to call Chris’ brother myself to let him know that it’s ok to visit.
