From documenting polygamy to the antics of a  certain New Jersey beach to watching celebrities dance, we\u2019ve seen it  all. Now TLC brings us a new series documenting a subject that many  within the geek community find a tough pill to swallow: dating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeek  Love\u201d, which will debut as two half hour specials on December 18, will  follow geek Ryan Glitch as he hosts his Sci-Fi Speed Dating events at  major comic conventions. For those unfamiliar, speed dating is a group  setting where individuals are paired off for a few minutes at a time to  briefly get to know one another then switch to the next person in line  for another couple of minutes. They can take notes and evaluate  potential full dates.<\/p>\n<p>As  many of us know, dating can be hard in the geek world. It takes a lot  of time and effort to find that one special individual who follows your  belief on the Star Wars \/ Star Trek debate. Or perhaps it\u2019s finding that  someone to appreciate the time and effort you put into cosplaying.<\/p>\n<p>If the series does well enough in the ratings, TLC will pick the series up for a full season order.
