Hannah, 22

What's the best way to pick up a Doctor Who fan?
Adorn yourself with the longest scarf in the galaxy.

What's the best reason to date a Doctor Who fan?
My model sonic screwdriver has a vibrator setting.

What has Doctor Who taught you about dating?
Be open to anything. Most life forms afford some level of hook-up potential — even sentient, bipedal trees.

The Doctor can convince a pretty woman to travel with him easily. How can I convince someone I've just met to come home with me?
Get them when they're young. Pick yourself out a local elementary school student and make a BIG IMPRESSION. (Think crawling out of their fireplace to slay the monster under the bed.) The key here is patience. Wait it out for about fifteen years, then casually reappear out of nowhere to start lapping up your share of their sweet, undying loyalty.

Like many of the Doctor's companions, I have a longstanding crush on someone who is totally oblivious. What can I do to figure out if there's something there or if it's just time to walk away?
Contrive as many far-fetched excuses as possible to plant a couple of wet ones on them, make sure whatever shady logic you've employed absolves you of any responsibility for your actions, and just stand back and see if your friendship dynamic doesn't get a little bit sexier.

I'm really interested in this girl and she seems ready to take it to the next level. Thing is, I'm a virgin and haven't told her. How do I bring it up?
In a long, overwrought speech peppered with numerous pop culture references, you know, to help make you seem a touch less like an ineffectual nerd.

Are these people adults? Hey Nerve, maybe you should ask practical sex advice tips from people who are grounded in fucking reality.

You're no fun.

Right on, DTS, because liking a TV series means you are crazy! We should only get our sex advice from a very narrow segment of society who don't watch TV, don't read fiction, and have no imagination. Though I am intrigued by this fucking reality you mention; I only know about regular reality, but you evidently have found a reality that fucks!

I have to respectfully disagree. There is some great advice here. "Confess in bulk?" priceless. Also, u r 2 hot? Seems very wise to me.

Speaking of "u r 2 hot", I wonder if "textspeak" is going to become less prevalent as more and more people get smartphones that make it wicked easy to text in real sentences, with autofil, etc. — I could picture textspeak as a mark of shame, showing that you have a clunky old phone and not a shiny new iPhone or Droid or whatever the kids use these days.

Seriously, the blazer + sneaker combo gets me going every time...

I went on a few dates with Dr. Who fan. It didn't work out because I was kind of into Battlestar Galactica at the time. We made the mistake of playfully defending our own show preferences, which turned into a full on war.

Hannah is hilarious. Too bad she's only 22 and seems to have a glass welded to her face.

I have yet to see a Dr. Who fan that looks like Nadia. I call shennanigans

ditto on the calling shennanigans

Hmmm... I've been favoring tweed jackets and bow ties for a while now, and I happened to be named Matt, does this mean I'm suddenly sexy, or am I still just a big geek, or both?

I was going to be indignant that I'd not been asked (hey! I'm super hot and tend to always run *towards* the explosion, with a big grin on my face, when everyone is running away). But then I saw hometown hero Charlie Jane Anders and realized they'd chosen the right lady.

Ahem, way to much information than I needed to know.

I think I agree with DTS. All the advice is just...bad. It's a bunch of show references and wouldn't help anyone in the real world. I'm all for nerds and I like geeky stuff, but this is a pretty bad article.

That's very thought-provoking point of view. I intend to return to this site very soon.

Okay...if you call it "Dr. Who," just get out now. It's fucking Doctor Who. Don't even bother.

DTO, I see you have uncovered our great secret. All Doctor Who fans are contractually obligated to be unattractive. When we start watching the show we have to sign a contract with the devil and sell him any previously existing good looks.

Seriously, I haven't seen ____ therefore it doesn't exist is quite possibly the stupid argument I have ever heard. I have not seen a humpback anglerfish, weapon grade plutonium, or a munchkin breed cat but I am not skeptical of their existence.
