Hey! So this will be my second Pax and fourth Con overall, the last Comic Con I attended in Portland had a "Geek Love" dating panel, and a previous Sakura con hosted a Speed dating panel which seemed grossly uneven. I'm not sure if either will be present at pax but has anyone tried either, and was it a positive experience? I always come away with great memories with friends but like many people I date a lot and secretly hope to run into a nerd soulmate at a convention, anybody have stories of meeting their significant other at a convention? I basically just want to hear cute stories of people getting together.
Thanks!

This will be our 3rd PAX and going on our 3rd year of dating. It's weird when your relationship revolves around PA, but it makes it much easier to collect pins :P

Having said that I do know of a couple who did meet at PAX and are now engaged to be married. What was really impressive was that the Atlantic Ocean separated them for a while, before one of them agreed to join the other in their respective locale
It doesn't have to be PAX to PAX; sometimes it's meeting people in the same community with the same interests that counts.
But like mentioned above, don't be creepy/pushy. A lot of people go to PAX looking to make friends, you'll miss out on making awesome new friendships if you only focus on the relationship part
See ya soon!
