She tells everyone your hard drive is so much bigger than her ex’s. Yeah, when she first got together with her ex, 80 GB was a lot of hard drive. But you’re sporting 500 GB—it’s clear yours is bigger and badder. Then again, every true geek girl knows it’s not just the size of your hard drive but what you do with it that counts.
She gives you lots of link love. She finds every excuse to link to you in her blog—even if your site has nothing to do with hers. Trying to do you a favor out of the kindness of her heart? Maybe. But it’s more likely she’s hoping to get your attention.
She thinks you’re way cuter in person than in WOW. And that’s saying a lot, because your avatar is a hunk. Him: big, strong and ripped. You: pale, under-exercised, socially awkward. Still, geek girls are more attracted to muscular intellects than bulging pecs—and if you’ve found one that likes you the way you really are, skinny little arms and all, she’s a clear keeper.
She gets shivers up her spine when you raw-code her HTML. Geek girls appreciate your nerdly superpowers. Go on; use the command prompt in front of her. Chances are she’ll be so impressed she’ll write you a love note in Visual Basic.
Geek girls make great girlfriends. They’re fun, caring, and won’t mind if you spend hours in front of your computer—as long as you send them an IM from time to time. Watch for the signs, and hopefully you and your geek girl will find each other.
