Nerd speed dating philadelphia pa

I legitimately have an interest in geek culture and the people that make it up.

I must also make clear that although I always planned about sharing my experience, I did not attend the session just to write about it. And if I can meeting 15 dudes in 90 minutes and try to make a connection, why not? But as an adult, I realize that sometimes we have to go outside our comfort zone and try some new things. Meeting new people is definitely not a strong suit for me, and neither is dating, so when I saw the Nerd Nite speed dating opportunity coordinated by the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), I immediately thought it was a great idea for some people, just not me.

Let me start off by saying that I am incredibly reserved. Luckily, C2E2 along with Nerd Nite hosted such an event, and here is my experience! Just the thought of it can invoke anxiety and sweaty palms, but some comic conventions have capitalized on the fact that a lot of attendees have similar interests, which is genius.
