That's the line I use. Quick. Easy. To the point. I'm in IT, so, people would just shrug it off and go away. It's the few that stay that can be converted....

HAHAHAHA

It's surprisingly difficult to make stuff up every week or two that sounds plausible, so instead I become very vague and usually say that I "spent time with some friends". Details are usually not talked about, but occasionally they are, and I am forced to de-nerdify it a little; so weekends filled full of 40k/D&D/munchkin usually become weekends full of movies, road trips, and Wii.

Thankfully, dating and 40k seem to not bother each other for me. It's very rare that I have guys over, but when I do (and have forgotten to put away my minis and painting supplies) the guy either doesn't notice, doesn't mention it, doesn't care about it, or is really curious about it. In any case, his mind is usually too preoccupied with other things to care about little plastic figures

how nice would that be
