When you ask about dating, I assume that you mean instead, seeing
someone for a long period of time.  I would acquaint myself with any
apparently interesting person for a short period of time, though our
relationship might get stale or irritating rather quickly.  That
doesn't meant that the relationship is of no value.

I think that seeing any person who had but one consuming passion would
get old with time.  I guess it's better than a person with no passion
at all.  I think of myself as a hacker, but I also see myself in other
settings.  For that reason, I don't think it's terribly important
whether one facet of a person's personality happens to be whether she's
a hacker or not.
