These dating sites for nerds suit people who spend much time in cyberspace. If you are socially awkward or hesitate to interact with single people in real life, especially because you’re always online, join an app with nerds aplenty.
Or, to date a nerd because that is sexy, find conversations on these apps too! For example, you need someone who matches your geeky talent on a dating site for nerds and who loves science fiction as much as you do.
Paid Sites
- Zoosk for Shy Types
Zoosk offers Carousel: a feature that brings gamification to dating for people who enjoy being online and swiping to find their matches. Free membership lets you check out the site’s features and acts as a trial. The paid membership allows you to view matches and send messages. Some members pay an extra fee to let users message them for free, so you can see which messages are open to this communication method. It is branded to help people who have a hard time making the first move, which is perfect for nerdy times.
Before choosing Zoosk, or any site for that matter, you definitely want to look at a few first-person reviews. Like Beyond Age’s Lovevoodoo review here, you want to see a full look at what a site is like before you spend any of your valuable time using it.
Everyone is going to have a different experience on an app but after you read a few different POV’s you can get a really good view of the app. There are so many bad sites out there that it really pays off to spend the time now choosing the best one. The last thing you want is to spend months using a site that isn’t the best option for you.
- Match by Personality at eHarmony
This site’s long personality test taken as you sign up and create your profile claims to help serious-minded people interested in long-term dating. This freemium site will let you look around for free.
Many users are the same as you find on other sites, but competitors usually have fewer steps to start chatting online. Give it a chance if you seek to match with someone sharing the exact same interests as you.
eHarmony also stands out as one of the best plus-size dating sites. Their commitment to helping individuals find meaningful connections extends to various dating preferences and body types, making it an inclusive platform for people of all backgrounds and interests.
- Show Your Geeky Side at GamerDating.com
While creating a profile and viewing matches is free, you must subscribe for unlimited messaging. If you are into videogames, you might invite a prospective date to play one online, and then you can chat.
Gamerdating.com is targeted at gamers looking to meet other gamers. With the shared love of everything video and interactive, do your first round of dating entirely online. At some point, though, you must leave the safety of your computer to meet face-to-face.
Free Sites
- Ferzu for Furry Fun
This is a VERY specific platform, but some geeks might find soulmates here. This dating service offers many free and paid features. It allows users to share the most types of content, such as drawings and videos related to furry culture.
Best of all, you don’t have to pay to send messages. You get limits on the features that upgraded users pay for, such as sending and receiving messages and blocking users.
This site caters to people who like fursonas and/or like to dress up or represent themselves as animals. You can develop an entire persona related to a furry creature, but you can talk about anything you want, from living with panic attacks to collecting Beanie babies.
- OkCupid for Free Personality Matching and Chatting
Answer as few or as many questions as you wish to describe yourself and your values. These are getting updated all the time to represent everyday culture.
OkCupid matches you based on your answers to the diverse questions, but you can expand matches to any geographic area, including other countries. The geek inside you will love how many ways there are to find nerdy matches.
- The Coffee Meets Bagel Experience
You can join this newer dating app for free and have one match prepared just for you and sent to your email each day. When you message a user on the app, you must wait for him or her to respond.
It is a great way for ladies to make the first move, making it similar to Bumble. You can upgrade to extra features for a fee.
It’s one of a few sites where more women than men are in the membership, which creates a better situation for single men seeking to match with straight women. It feels like a smaller site, but it really has become more mainstream since its inception.
Getting into the nerdy dating game is a big step. You will get comfortable with the different platforms and start to make online friends. Whether you both love gaming or calligraphy, there are many things to discuss. Ultimately, you or your prospective date must work up the courage to do the in-person dating game.
