One Click to Date an IITian

While IIT boys think their “unbearable” geekiness is no bar to their desirability, they are of the opinion that it is a big turn-off when it comes to their female peers. The problem with the IIT boys is not that they don’t have girlfriends, says one, but that they lack experience with girls as friends.

This is why Dating IITians often reads like a socialization manual. It also explains why its makers – two of whom are IIT students – offer these arrows to shoot at a romantic target. For instance: “I give my smile to everyone. But I think, to you, I give my heart”; “You are the first person who has been able to make my heart beat slower and faster at the same time”; “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I pass by again?”

While modern relationships between men and women are based on an ease and familiarity with the opposite sex. Perhaps this is the reason why IIT grads truly come into their own after they leave the monk-like confines of campus, after they’ve gone abroad for graduate school, worked in different environments, and grown more comfortable in their own skin.
