I think, so far.

Unlikely. The traditional technique doesn't involve an actual
relationship, rather, the girl flirts with the geek & 'casually'
mentions that she's having trouble with $GIZMO/$APP/$OS, whereupon the
poor fool dives in to fix it for her, & gets some praise & a kiss on the
cheek for his trouble.

This is where a list of prices is useful. "Fixing your PC - one week of
gorilla sex. In advance."

Sadly, most geeks aren't brave enough to say that upfront. My method[0]
works better.
