If there's one thing geeks know how to do, it's care a lot.
We're no strangers to nerding out and expressing our love with no reservations, but sometimes, it can be hard to find like-minded people in the dating pool.
For women, it can involve a lot of creepy guys who want their manic pixie dream girl. For men, it can involve a lot of simply trying not to be that guy. If you're in the majority of geeks who are a little bit introverted, dating can be more than a little intimidating.
Are there dating sites for geeks?
Yes, but you may not need them.
We compared the internet's top full-on dating sites, trendy swiping apps, and geek-specific sites to find the ones where geeks can express themselves and find that twin flame. Hidden in millions and millions of users, you could find someone you can chat with for hours about if there will ever be a Pokémon game as good as Pokémon Emerald or someone who dreams of the perfect couple's cosplay.
You'll notice that we no longer include any geek-specific sites in our recommendations because we found them to be out-of-date — you can find more info on this decision in our 'How we tested' section below.
