It’s a tough life dating a geek…

They just aren’t satisfied with the normal roses, chocolates, date night and a movie approach to Valentine’s Day. They don’t want flowers unless they’re origami roses… they don’t want chocolate unless it’s in the shape of the Star Ship Enterprise… and they don’t want jewelry unless you had to delve into the caves of the Misty Mountains to find it.

So what do you get for your geeky, social media addicted, yet romantic partner? #HelpIsOnTheWay
