What's in a name? How to date a nerd. This is Doctor Paul, author of "Boomer Girls, a boomer womans guide to men and dating", and host of "Ask Doctor Paul". Be careful about your definitions. There's a very well known, quote on quote, nerd who said "I was called a nerd in high school and college and many of those people who called me that are now my employees", alright, tend to be very successful by the way. So, how do you date a nerd? Get right passed that definition, get right passed what you think is, quote on quote, a nerd because that is the definition that people give who are jealous, they're not as successful in their grades as this person. They're not as successful in their field of endeavor as this person so they label them nerd "Oh, he's a nerd", guess what? That nerd may be your employer one day. So, how to date a nerd? Like anyone else, look to the person, get passed the definition and talk to the person. We're not talking about a savant here, we're talking about someone who is capable in all areas and who is, by definition by some people, a, quote on quote, nerd. So, when you get by that, understand the human being there because there is a human being there. Be as courteous to that person as you would be to someone you don't define like that. This is Doctor Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
