Always a good place for a geek to start with romance.
If you’re lacking for words to woo your love on Valentine’s Day, here’s a selection of my favorite romantic quotes from various geeky sources.
Well, I think they’re romantic, at least.

A few from Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
“Well, uh, maybe I’ll see you around… maybe at school… since we… both… go there.”
–Xander to Buffy at their first meeting.
“Sometimes, when I’m sitting in class — you know, I’m not thinking about class, ’cause that would never happen — I think about kissing you. And, it’s like everything stops. It’s like, it’s like… freeze frame. Willow kissage.”
–Oz to Willow
“When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a woman.”
–Spike to Buffy
The West Wing:
“I just want you to talk to me about it. I want us to talk about what it will mean and how we’ll make it work. I want us to talk like we’re gonna figure it out together. I want us to talk… because I like the sound of your voice. I just want to talk.”
–Danny to C.J.
Babylon 5
“The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star-stuff. We are the Universe, made manifest, trying to figure itself out.”

–Mary Jane, meeting Peter (Spider-Man) Parker for the first time.
“I think of Sarah. The rest is easy.”
