About This Podcast
Looking for your Player 2? Welcome to the Date Like A Nerd podcast, where your gamer skills, dice rolls, and cosplay become your greatest dating assets. This show is designed for shy, introverted nerds who want to find romance in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.
We throw out the mainstream dating rulebook and focus on real data, real stories, and real life experience from the world of nerd dating. Whether you are rolling for initiative at a D&D table, swiping right on a dating app, or making friends at conventions and Discord servers, we show you how to unlock romance side quests in true nerd style.
Learn from nerds who found their partner, community organizers, and experts, to finally unlock your Player 2. Are you ready?
