Look...let's face this together. Dating can suck. Throw your use/obsession of Linux into the mix and what do you get?

More than likely a room at your mom's house and a NASA-level computer bank in her basement. The neck beard and questionable hygiene habits don't help matters any either.

You come to realize that there is more to life than bash scripts and LAN parties with other Linux Geeks. Well, at least for some of us. So you decide to put yourself back on the dating market. Where do you start? I think we can all rule out LUG meetings, Linux Foundation events and the laundry mat. The ratio for men to women at these locations is bleak.

Let's say, just for argument, that you miraculously run into someone that bothers to look at you twice....I mean without pity or fear.

How does a Linux Geek approach someone?
