Nerd nite speed dating

What's best when you're trying to woo a nerd? MAURA: I've had dudes tell me: "Guys love it when women make the first move." But in my own experience, things never seem to work out that well when I take the initiative. I made him guess - and finally, he went with "nerd." And again, strangely, I was flattered. The fact that he was having a hard time figuring it out was, in its own weird way, a compliment. In fact, I was once dating a nerd, and he asked me whether I was cool or nerdy in high school. I can certainly be somewhat nerdy about books and movies and indie rock - I guess.
