Then – presumably because she noticed all her years-old Facebook profile pictures were getting "Liked" in the deep, dark hours of the early morning by Countdown champ and bar regular Richard Brittain – our heroine unfriended him on Facebook.“'You’re kinda freaking me out,' she explained. 'You’re a good guy but you’re being far too forward.''Are you still doing University Challenge with us?' I asked."Definitely the most important question to ask there, yeah."For some reason, I then decided to tell her how I really felt; that I had become infatuated with her, and that I was in love with her. With hindsight, of course I wouldn’t have done that. In fact, I would have done almost everything differently but, at the time, I felt compelled to do what I did."Who is responsible for this enduring myth that, if nerds in glasses just deeply confess their love to someone they’ve met about three times, they will fall upon them all swooning and going, "Yes, alright, let’s run away together! Somewhere exotic! But not so exotic that your weird nerd allergies flare up again!"? Is it rom-coms? Is it those books about Warhammer they all read? Is it anime?"She pulled out of the team. We found a replacement and failed the audition anyway (I doubt that her inclusion would have made a difference). My dream of winning University Challenge and impressing the maiden was shattered."I think I might move to Scotland.
