Geeks spend a lot of time using their brains and this thing called logic, but deep down geeks have emotions too.

The hearticon is a simple way to say I love you; however you might need to explain the visual to someone unfamiliar with emoticons.  You don’t want your loved one thinking you are declaring “less than 3″ for them.
