Ask HN: No one talks about hackers' relationships. What has worked for you?

Keeping it short to avoid making you bored:

How are dating and relationships different for programmers? What works and what doesn't? Where do people meet/find their SO? And how can expectations be adjusted on both sides?

As a programmer, I obviously enjoy my coding and getting lost in computers. But I think it'd be naive to think that programmers don't have other needs as well, e.g., emotional/intimacy/etc. Yet, this aspect of our life is barely mentioned on forums and in discussions.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this and get some answers from my fellow HNers.
