Dating Sites for Nerds: Because We’re Lookin’ for Love, Too

Card games, tabletop games, role playing games, they’re all group activities. Even video games often nowadays are played with others, either online or on the couch. Still, for some, gaming of all sorts can be a lonely business if they don’t have that special someone to share it with.
You hear about those online dating sites, but they don’t seem right for you. You check them out and they’re full of beautiful people. Or creeps. And everyone seems to enjoy the same things. Walking on the beach. Walking in the park. Walking the dog. There’s usually lots of walking. And then there are the people who have their who life planned out, or the people who have a laundry list a mile long of all the things their prospective significant other absolutely must have.
It gets tiring, and sometimes frustrating.
But there’s help available. Believe it or not, there are more than a few dating sites out there which specifically cater to the nerd and geek crowds. Below are a handful of them, but not an extensive list. Check them out. Maybe one of them is right for you. And maybe Cupid will shoot an arrow your way (which might gain him a few XP, after all). If you don’t find what you’re looking for, keep looking, for there are plenty of other dating sites out there.

This is another free site, and it offers personals and a social networking community.

Nerd Passions

Gamer Dating
You video game nerds don’t have to feel left out, either, because this site was built by video game fans for video game fans. Not only can you be social here, but you can build a video game library of your favorites, allowing you to show off and connect with others who might enjoy the same passions as yourself.
Okay. That should be enough sites to keep you busy for a while. Just remember to have fun and keep your eyes open for that special someone.
Just remember, when you find them, tell them to Stay Nerdy!
