Regarding the geek, I have not said "no" yet. I might still go out with him for a second time and see - maybe I can get adjusted to him. He himself verbalized the problem for me when he said that when a woman dates in Silicon Valley, "the odds are good, but the goods are odd". This is so very true - I have not had failures so far, as everyone who looked me up wanted a second date, but boy, are the goods odd!

But maybe I should learn to live with the nerdiness or else I would be alone in this Valley.
