Only in Germany so far, let's hope it sets a precedant for the rest of the world!

This reminds me of the Virgin Experience service, operated by the Society Service escort agency. The agency is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It's a service where an escort who had some sort of sensitivity training in working with virgin guys takes a client's virginity. On their website, it says that computer geeks (referred to as "IT professionals") are one of their most common clients. In my opinion, a combination of this and the flirting course will produce the best result.

If flirting training is your "BSc Degree", then the Virgin Experience must be the "Phd" for the advanced students. :lol:

So true. I remember when I first decided to learn to talk to girls. So I bought an e-book online, the famous Dubble Yoore Daytin one (I had to spell it weird so it won't come up in Google searches). The title is kind of ironic: if the number of dates I had is zero, the book wouldn't do any good :lol:. That turned out to be true; the concepts were good, but the methods were outlandish at best. I ended up actaully using only 10% of the book. I bought more book later, but they're only marginally more helpful.

Speaking of Virgin Experience, I actually lost my virginity to an escort. It was a regular escort, but she was really nice to me during the session, since I told her it was my first time with an escort. I arrived to her hotel, put the money where she told me to, sat next to her on the bed, and the rest is history. I walked out smiling, and had to sit on a bench in a nearby park for almost 20 minutes just to compose myself. But ever since, girls were completely demystified, and I found it a lot easier to approach them.

Long story short, one hour with an escort helped me more than all the books and CDs I bought in the time span of two years. And the final cost was almost the same. Now I'm not advocating that all virgins run out and see an escort, but that's what helped me. Losing my V-card made something click in my brain, and changed things. Somehow, it's a lot easier to approach and talk to a girl when you have a clear picture of what it's like to have sex with her.

I don't know how many nerds still have pocket protectors (the company offered them to our techs a decade or two ago, and we just looked at them like 'this is a joke, right?'...;)

Heck, I work in IT, and I get to wear tennis shoes and blue jeans to work. Can't complain about that...;)

Because of my condition and morals I find flirting impossible which is kind of shutting me out of the right to have a romantic relationship. If only there was a way of skipping these dating games out then I would be OK with my life.

I self-taught myself to flirt in about 2006, I'm pretty good at it now, it took a while but I got there

so this flirt-training thing comes too late for me, lol

and I'm not even a geek or nerd, heh

Interesting concept. If I'm this desperate in a few years, it's just fifty or so miles from where I live.
Though the vicinity might make it a bit more awkward, as I might start a political career. Not a revelation I'd like to see on front pages all around the country.

Are there ASpies in political positions? It seems far more AT/AS hostile than customer service jobs.

There's plenty of politicians here who I'd swear have some severe form of autism. I'd probably blend in well with the more boring but high-level type of politician.
A former premier, Jan-Peter Balkenende, was a very boring man. Very boring. The only noteworthy moments were when he said we needed a 'VOC mentality' - the VOC being a company that helped massacre half of Indonesia in the seventeenth century - and when he said a reporter who asked him too tough a question looked pretty. He was basically a walking disaster in public relations, and he held out for almost nine years.

No amount of flirting courses is going to make me seem attractive, I'm afraid.

Perhaps German politics are different than in the USA. From what I've seen, American politics requires a strong ability to evade pointed questions and basically shift from one position to another, depending on your target demographic.
