My friend @Physics-Man is a good man and I would like to offer him some hope and encouragement with this post. He recently posted a question
How are nerdy, introverted, socially awkward, eccentric weirdos supposed to get a girlfriend or even a date in a scene not meant for us?
asking what a nerdy, introverted, socially awkward, eccentric weirdo is supposed to do about dating because he doesn't fit into the dating scene and he feels that there are no girls out there who would be interested in someone like him.

First, I don't necessarily agree with his assessment of himself but I've learned not to argue with people about such things. I think he is the kind of guy who is the salt of the earth, who will one day be an excellent husband and father, the kind of guy that a girl will be married to for 58 years until the day he or she dies, and they will make beautiful nerd babies together. But he obviously feels like a square peg in a round hole world and that is a heavy burden!

Anyway. . . do you consider yourself to be one of those nerdy, introverted, socially awkward, eccentric weirdo girls who would be interested in a guy who thinks the same of himself, or do you know of someone else who would date a guy who fits the nerd profile? Even if you are not the quintessential nerd girl, would you date such a guy? Where should my friend look for girls who potentially would be receptive to his romantic interest?

This is more of a question for US citizens though much of the world was involved in this war. In America, there is a phenomenon of forgotten wars. One of the wars that most people consider a largely forgotten war is the Korean War (1950-1953 ), even though a huge amount of people were involved in it. I am just trying to see if the Gulf War is another war overshadowed by the conflicts around it.

I've always known a little about the war because I'm a history nerd. I've been researching it a lot recently because I watched the film, Jarhead (2005), which is really a great film about a true war experience. I highly recommend it.

- She is an introvert, a nerd and a member of a walking group.
- If on a group walk, she will generally talk to me the most and will start the conversation. She can be nervous.
- If I’m talking to others on a walk, she’ll join in the conversation.
- She rarely texts me first but when i do, she’ll ask follow up questions most times. Her replies are generally brief.
- She opens up to me and keeps me updated about what she’s up to. She also asks me about things I’m doing.
- Sometimes if I make prolonged eye contact with her whilst talking, she’ll do the same. Other times not.
- She’ll lean in if we’re sitting opposite and I lean in.
- She won’t move away if my face gets close to hers whilst talking.
- Sometimes she gets very close while we’re walking side by side. Other times not.
- She always asks me questions to elaborate on things I’m talking about. She always keeps the conversation going by asking me questions.
- She listens to me when talking about my passions and asks questions even if I’m having this conversation with someone else.
- She mentions the positives in me (my many hobbies & she says she wished she more too, my ambitions and says she wishes she was more ambitious)
- a female friend and guy friend of mine (who has liked her for a long time but got rejected) thinks she likes me.
- she can sometimes be quiet around me or face away from me.
- She generally says yes to hanging out but sometimes will say “could do but I don’t like that activity” or “could do but I do have things to do that day”. She tends to eventually come to a decision to do it anyway.
- I suggested to her she could come with me last minute to go to the park once and she said she wasn’t sure as she was about to make lunch and go shopping. I suggested she lets me know if she decides she wants to come and she later texted me to ask if I’m still there and she walked 45 minutes to come and see me.
- She says my name a lot. She mentions me in conversation a lot to others.
