Hello, my name is Adam, and I have been hosting Nerd Courting since 2009. After last years break, we are returning to Fanime for 2018, and I hope to see you there! This question comes up every year, so I wanted to address it here first:
THIS IS NOT SPEED DATING. It has nothing to do with it.
Nerd Courting is a presentation and discussion about how dating works in the nerd community, and how we can better navigate those waters. It's about providing useful, functional information, and being a safe place to ask questions about relationships, sexuality, and sex. There is also a lot of humor, since this can be an awkward subject if taken too seriously.
I take questions throughout the panel, share many personal stories, and will lay down every piece of advice that I can. There will also be a meet and greet after the panel, where the discussion will continue and be more open in topic. This usually goes until 6 or 7 in the morning, so be ready!
I hope to see everyone there!
Friday, 10pm till 1am, Panels room 1 (18+ only)
