How does a nerdy/geeky girl avoid being seen as 'one of the guys' (or on the same level as a guy friend) by her crush?

Yes I have a crush on a boy. He is into video games/manga/anime same as I am. We talk about them often. But I fear he will only see me as a friend and forget that I am also a girl and in turn not develop interest. So how do guys view girls with the same hobbies as them?

I mean realistically similar tastes can be seen as a positive when looking for a partner. But if you really want to stay out of that one of the lads/friend zone... Make it obvious your not one of the lads and want more than that... Have a flirt, be adventurous with it and be a bit naughty. I'm sure he'll quite soon get the hint or make it known if he's down or not.

By flirting, you are already a mental match, so its just a matter of showing off looks and hitting on him.

Lucky bastard, I'm looking for the same kind of woman and I've had no luck so far.

Just because you are a nerd doesn't mean he sees you as a friend. My wife and I were both nerds, but even when we met I was also aware that I was attracted to her.

Don’t hang out in large male groups hang out with the guy one on one
