Another thread was going off topic with this but I don't want the conversation to die!

My girlfriend is lovely but is not nearly as interested in computers and nerd stuff. She'll just smile and nod until I'm finished and then steer me back onto a topic we can both relate to... :p

she does it in a nice way though. She's nicer when it's just the two of us. I also have a habit of talking about math, and if we're out with friends, she'll change the topic before their eyes glaze over. Atleast that way my friends won't discover my secret nerdish ways :p

I am sure she feels the same way I do when she starts talking about criminal Law.
Blank stares and nods really fill in the blanks of our conversations.:p

If I get boring they'll usually just change the subject.
