Dear Jermaine,

You’ve got computer skills, math skills, study skills; do you have numchuk skills? Just playing with you; but have you seen Napoleon Dynamite? The geeky guy gets the girl and the other geeky guy is the hero. Geeks win in the end!

Tune up your sense of humor; it could be your greatest asset. Chances are you are witty (we know you are bright), so use your intelligence to be funny.

Girls say that one of the qualities they want in a guy is a sense of humor. They also want someone who is easy to talk to and isn’t stuck on themselves. So right there you have an advantage over an arrogant jock that only wants to talk about how great he is and his stats.

Find an area that you are interested in and think how you can become an expert on that area, but in a fun way. Use your brain to be entertaining, not intimidating. Tune in to what girls are talking about at school. Learn something about those interests. Then talk about those things. Don’t try to be scientific or authoritative, just chatty. If the girl doesn’t take the bait, move on to someone else. The law of averages are with you, work the odds! Be encouraged. Lots of girls like smart guys!

BTW – how much do you know about physics?  
JK!
