[M, 20] I’ve been looking for a relationship for awhile now. I’ve had a few shots, but they didn’t go anywhere because they were all single moms with kids (nothing against that lol, I just know what I’m looking for). I wanted to find a girl who’s into computers or coding, and maybe is even into Linux. I know there’s meetup.com or events like DEFCON, but I’m looking for something in my area (NY). I refuse to go on Tinder. Sooner or later, I won’t be carrying a cell phone (switching to laptop as daily) so my options probably just got a lot smaller. Although, I do think I’m pretty attractive, and I feel like I’d still pull regardless. Anwyays, where’s the Linux women at? Like seriously, where? I guess I should just start roaming around with a Python t-shirt or something?

    Um, nothing wrong with dating another programmer if you happen to meet one and things go that way, but it’s better to start out with a much wider filter and be open to whatever might develop.

      True, It’s not a deal breaker if they’re not into computers. It’s more of a preference that I seek to fulfill.

    Focus on making friends, the girlfriend will come naturally from meeting people and friends of friends.

    Also, board game nights at restaurants or bars if there are any in your area. If there aren’t maybe start one yourself.
