Because my husband is a Tech Man and I love him so, I had to share.... Enjoy!

For better or worse, San Francisco is home to a myriad of different tech people and some of these tech workers are bound to fall in like with non-tech peeps (at least the ones who aren't going straight for the Silicon Valley prostitutes). I'm not saying straight tech guys are bad at meeting girls, I'm saying everyone is bad at meeting girls. Maybe if we went around being up front or direct about who we're interested in, more of us would get laid. Since we don't do that, here's a list of ways to decode if a tech guy likes you.

1. He views your LinkedIn on the regular
If you're like me and you don't want to shell out for a premium account to hide whose profile you've viewed, LinkedIn can start to feel like OkCupid's cute conservative cousin.

2. He asks you to be in his promo video
Congratulations on your promo video level of attractiveness and/or awesome personality. Sometimes tech guys will cast a lady as their significant other because the mandatory party and picnic scenes just seem to call for that. A word of caution: a well staged baguette or good looking cheese board can be sneakily seductive. Everyone wants to live in an Anthropologie catalog. Everyone.

3. He gives you early access
Ooh baby! If a tech guy tries to show off their new app that shows the weather and your ovulation through some beautiful color spectrum, homie might be tryna smash. But if he gave you access because you entered your email seven times, he's probably just looking for users.

4. He gives you a company t-shirt IN THE RIGHT SIZE!
FACT: The way to a woman's heart is through tri-blend tees. I think the idea is, if he can't be on your boobs at least his logo can. If he is excited for you to be seen in his start-up's shirt he likes you and/or your rack.

5. He buys a domain that includes both of your names
Do I hear creepy wedding bells? This sign that a tech guy likes you is slightly more fanboyish than the rest, but if things do work out you'll be glad you've got MarkandAnnaForevs.com all locked up.

6. He favorites and retweets you like you're Rihanna
Isn't it funny how things tweeted by people you want to have sex with sound so much funnier than everyone else you follow (people you've already had sex with)? If you notice someone is on your Twitter nuts, but you haven't tweeted anything funny since your cat died, you might have an admirer.

7. He uses your photo in screenshots or app previews
This sign is not subtle, but again it means he thinks you're cute enough to be in the app store. So if you see yourself in a screenshot on TechCrunch, there's a good chance someone wants to get in your pants.
