      I 100% believe it could happen.

      You see, I, too, was once an awkward nerdy middle school girl and the go-to move for showing a guy you liked him was to get way into one of his hobbies.

        Agreed. My ex learned how write software for the ti-84 calculator because I was REALLY into it. Girl found her way in. Smart lady, I miss her sometimes.

          I heard this story from a third party, so I can’t prove it’s true, but supposedly the head of IT security at a previous job met his wife when she compromised his home network to get his attention.
