Girls With Comics

If you read this blog, chances are good that you like comics (chances are also good that I forced you to read this). Chances are also good that you might like girls! Seeing as how this blog is by girls who like comics (SURPRISE) here’s a nifty, handy list on how to get that girl of your dreams…who hopefuly likes nerd things. If she’s into Taylor Swift and Abercrombie* I can’t help you.

If she likes comics, don’t put down her favorite’s if they aren’t what you like.  For example, I really like Archie. Sometimes when people find that out, they just laugh and go “Oh ok well you like comics that were made for girls!” Don’t do that. I can’t think of a better way for you to not get laid (and ignored) by laughing at a girls interest’s.

If she’s just starting out in the hobby, don’t be a know it all. Showing off your mad l33t comic book knowledge makes you look like a tool. If you were showing off your mad l33t rocket science know how, I would totally understand. But you’re not. Lend her some of the comics you like, who knows, she might just dig them! And if she asks you a question, then you can show off your knowledge. If she didn’t, you really will look like a jerk. And you won’t get laid.

If she cosplays, don’t call her an attention whore behind her back. She will find out. Believe me, there are more guys out there willing to make you look like a tool just to get on her good side. Also, don’t be a creep and follow her around the con. Go up to her, tell her you like her costume, and go from there! Most cosplayers won’t bite, and most are not crazy.  However if you do catch a crazy cosplayer, run. Just run.

If she likes comics you haven’t read, give them a shot! Even if it is something girly like Sailor Moon. It shows that you’re putting an effort into the things she likes. That goes a long way with us ladies.

While nothing is fool-proof, hopefully these few pointers will help you find a potential gal pal that you can call your own!
