Talk over IM. And I'm not joking, this really works for nerds.

have lots of gay nerd sex

you may be living under the delusion that somehow, magically, friends just happen. it's not true. you have to make an effort. if this other person likes X, then before you meet next, look up something about X so you can talk about it. It's called "being generous". It doesn't have to be some big thing. you could simply say, 'hey i looked at that website, it's pretty cool'. you don't have to become an instant convert or fall in love and like everything the other person does, that's creepy anyways.

when people just hit it of, it's usually because they live in a matrix of connections and some of that info is already out there. to make new friends you gotta put forth some effort to find common ground.

Truth. Also friends don't have to have the same interests. Sometimes a friend is just someone you can respect, trust, and spend time with.

I'm so glad that I have other, increasingly expanding, interests besides nerd related shit.

I know, but we don't have anything in common to start with, so I don't know if this could ever turn into a real friendship. Again, he is a nice enough guy, but I don't know where to go from there. (except for gay sex, but that's not gonna happen) I will try to put in some more effort though, thanks.

you're making excuses. s/he indicated they liked some thing, right? look it up, read about it, say something about it. see what happens.

if you just whine, and do nothing, it is then all your fault. even if it doesnt work out, it's practice. life is mainly practice for the next event.

eggzactly. half my friends are wildly different from me. i'm way hardcore nerd (i compulsively make shit all the time) and many of my friends wouldn't know how to pick up a screwdriver.
