Then he likes you.<\/li>\n<li>Does he not make eye contact with you? Then he likes you a lot.<\/li>\n<li>Does being in the same room as you make him uncomfortable to the point where he occasionally can&#8217;t control his bladder? Then he probably thinks that he loves you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>How to get him to like you if he doesn&#8217;t already.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduce yourself&#8230;as a girl. Say &#8220;Hello, my name is [insert name here, or if you don&#8217;t want him to know your real name, make one up] and <em>I am a girl<\/em>.&#8221; At this point, he will probably turn a shade of crimson that you did not know existed (but for the record it&#8217;s [255, 0, 40]) and look at his feet. You don&#8217;t know it yet, but he now likes you. And he just vacated his bowels.<\/li>\n<li>Wear a shirt with a number on it. Any number. Maybe when you&#8217;re in the same room as him, you could also loudly proclaim from time to time &#8220;I like numbers.&#8221; Don&#8217;t push the subject too hard, though, it shouldn&#8217;t take much to get him piqued.<\/li>\n<li>Use words like n00b, pwn, 1337, and a whole lot of acronyms. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you don&#8217;t know what 1337 means, or if the acronyms you use aren&#8217;t real, just throw anything in there. He will be so surprised when he hears you say &#8220;I totally pwned payless today. They were having this 1337 sale, right, and I pwned this one woman who thought she was going to get a sweet deal on some BAPs, but I hosed her with my level 26 purse with a rock mod, FTW!!1!.&#8221; He might even be surprised when you say &#8220;I was going to noob this one 1337 WTF right in the BBQ, but it&#8217;s that time of teh month.&#8221; The possibilities are endless.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>What to do to get rid of a nerd that you don&#8217;t want.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tell him that your favorite computer game is Photoshop.<\/li>\n<li>Tell him that you are thinking of buying a Mac, and don&#8217;t budge when he tries to convince you otherwise.<\/li>\n<li>Ask him if he can fit the internet on a floppy for you. Remind him that it has to be the <em>whole<\/em> internet, and tell him not to come back until he&#8217;s finished.<\/li>\n<li>Punch him in the face.
