When I first meet my boyfriend, whom i've been with for 2 years now, I had no idea what he was talking about when discussing code but I could empathize with his frustrations and his glee when he figured out a problem or be completely amused when he and his housemate would get in jousting matches over different technologies just to amuse themselves. Over time I became knowledgeable about the different compontes that made up the software he was working on, then it was pointcast and now XUL and other parts that will comprise the new Netscape browser. This meant I asked alot of questions about what he was talking about until I felt I could actually understand what he was talking about. Just because a girl is not a geek by trade does not mean she could not communicate with a geek boi. It just means that if she is truly interested in her man she will take the time to understand him and he will take the time to explain things to her. Oh and the occasional conversttion about non work things are always nice. And if I ever start talking Marth Stewart I will personally kill myself thank you. signed, a geek boi's girlfriend
