‘Dr. Nerdlove’ creates dating website for fellow geeks
By Esther Robards-Forbes
For most of his life, Harris O’Malley was terrible with women.
A textbook geek, right down to the glasses, the red hair and the oversized comic book collection, he had a hard time talking with women, getting phone numbers and forming healthy romantic relationships.
“I was trying to be the ‘Nice Guy,’ ” O’Malley says. “I spent so much time in the friend zone I could declare residency and run for political office. I had all these really bad hang-ups about what I thought women wanted, or what I had or didn’t have. And just a lot of it came down to the fact that I had adopted this idea that I was the one that was bad with girls and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.”
