I've just been talking to a friend on msn. She's really keen on a guy she knows who's a website designer. She says they get on really well on msn or when they are out with friends getting drunk, but when they're sober they both get shy and don't know what to say. What should she do?

Talk in Acronymns.... we love Acronyms... USB, TCP/IP, GUI, CD-ROM, DVD, RAM

*can't help but takes notes*

Don't surprise them from behind.... we scare easy

Well the best advice you can give her is a peice of paper with my email address on

the lassie has a bloke in mind already... it's just the shyness barrier she needs to break down...

have the same problem.. except he's not a geek and we only ever talk when we're drunk..

Geeks will never talk to a girl ever... believe me..... tell her to take an interest in the things hes doing, then he will begin to trust her i suppose.... any single girls you know btw inform me

off to watch IT crowd... classic you staying on for a bit?

Classic. Geeks are naturally shy creatures Tell her to make friends with him, get to know him a bit, like Morph said gain his trust. Once she has lulled him into a false sense of security, she can progress things

Good advice Saz Thanx

Awww, hope its of some use to you

Tell her to keep going with the msn chats, its a great way to get to know each other but without any face to face pressure/shyness etc

lol.... makes her sound like a preditor.. but yeah, just go over and take interest in him. The good thing about geeks is that they are extreamly loyal, and will devote as must time as possible (inbetween computer time) to you.
