\"\"<\/span><\/div>

(Male, Serio-Comic, Young Adults – 20s)<\/strong>

But then she<\/em>\u00a0walked into his life and turned it upside down. He thought love was just about holding hands and having someone to sit next to at lunch. Boy was he wrong. He had no idea it meant changing everything about himself to please his girlfriend. Well at least that\u2019s what he thinks. Today he\u2019s King Nerd, addressing his disciples before launching into a game of Xbox. Something he knows a little more about…<\/p>\n
