And, a girl told me today that I'm a "lot more of a nerd", and an unlikely to find a girl for the rest of my life.

That's a terrible thing for her to have said. Ignore that. It's just not true that programmers don't have girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives.

It comes across to me as her clumsy way of hitting on the OP. Ignoring might not be the correct course of action.

No, it isn't. I agree the nerd part should be ignored, but the sentence itself is her way of saying she's not attracted to the OP, which he should pay attention to. The OP should do what it is in his power to do and improve his social skills with women. If the OP is interested in hearing more of my opinion, he should email me (it's in my profile). I won't post it here because I'll get downvoted into oblivion.
