You know, Anonymous, when you’re a self-proclaimed gold digger like me, you don’t typically go for the nerdy type. I mean, let’s face it - my mind always went straight to tall, dark, and handsome… with a fat wallet. But life has a funny way of surprising you sometimes. Enter Ethan - the quintessential geek with thick glasses, social awkwardness that could fill a room, and enough knowledge about Star Wars to make your head spin. He was definitely not my usual type… but damn if he wasn’t intriguing in his own way.
Our first date was at some comic book store downtown (yes, really), and I swear I almost died from embarrassment. But as we started talking, something unexpected happened - I found myself laughing genuinely at his weird jokes and actually being impressed by how passionate he was about… well, everything nerdy under the sun. He didn’t have much money to speak of (definitely no luxury cars or mansions in sight), but what he lacked in wealth he made up for in intelligence and sincerity.
Now before you think I’ve gone completely soft (I haven’t!), let me be clear - this wasn’t some fairy tale transformation where I suddenly fell deeply in love with the geeky guy. But here’s the thing: dating Ethan taught me that there’s more to attraction than just physical appearance or bank balance. The man could talk for hours about quantum physics (okay fine, most of it went over my head) or build an entire gaming PC from scratch - and somehow that turned me on? Who knew being with someone so intellectually stimulating could be such a turn-on? Of course, my friends thought I’d lost my mind (‘Amira dating someone who shops at Hot Topic?’), but honestly? It was refreshing to be with someone so unapologetically himself… even if his idea of a perfect date involved watching anime marathons instead of sipping champagne at rooftop bars.
