True Confessions
After an evening out with some of my girlfriends (all of whom, in that crowd, are partnered up), and a conversation with my mother about my "great loves", I've come to the conclusion that I need to play against type from now on. The sardonic, nerdy boys I've gone for in the past have never delivered. I'm never challenged enough, and, I need a challenge. My retreats into neediness and insecurity, I think now, have been attempts on my part to keep engaged. But, if someone comes along to keep me on my toes, someone to embrace my contradictions, I won't need to go there anymore.
Someone who's going to throw me into the deep end of the pool, and wait by the side, because he knows, as well as I do, that I really DO know how to swim, and I'll get back just fine.

Nerdy - good. Sardonic, bitter, jaded, sarcastic? eh. Often a cover for pettiness, insecurity, and not-very-niceness.
And you, Miss Court, you are very nice. And you have these huge, and inspiring passions.
So maybe, rather than nerdy and bitter, you could go for nerdy and passionate? Like yourself?
True, nerdy isn't a dealbreaker, really. It's the nerdy combined with condescending sarcasm toward anything "mainstream", "normal", "liked/understood by more than 4 people" that gets me into trouble every time. THAT's what I need to avoid.
'It's the nerdy combined with condescending sarcasm toward anything "mainstream", "normal", "liked/understood by more than 4 people"'
There is WAY too much of that around here. Then you find out most of those people watch "Dancing with the Stars" every week. You know, "ironically".
It's ok to like mainstream normal stuff right? ....lol I know exactly the personality you're talking about.
Ah, I don't call those types nerdy, I call them the DEEP ones. They are so passionate! And deep! And better than everyone else!
Yes, stay away. Bad news, all of them.
