Introverted Nerds on Dating Apps

by Alex

the Nerd Love Story of Phillip and Darcy

πŸ“Ί Staying in watching Naruto and eating pizza might not be everyone’s preference for a first date. But that doesn’t have to stop you from finding a Player 2!

πŸŽ–οΈ After serving in the military, Phillip moved to a new city full of extroverts. As an introverted nerd dealing with anxiety and starting to build a life from scratch, with no money or even a bed, Phillip was finding it challenging to date. But after some swiping, he found Darcy, a fellow introvert who even suggested staying in for their first date! πŸ›‹οΈ

❌ And, no. They didn’t sleep together on that first date (it was Netflix and Pizza; not Netflix and Chill). In fact, he gave her a kiss on the cheek on the 4th date! How was he not friend-zoned? He was clear from the beginning about what she could expect. And she liked him just like that. πŸ™Œ

If you think you have to change who you are to find a partner, listen to Phillip’s story!
