The closest thing I have is a story where my cat started swallowing a length of string and I had to slowly pull it out of him while he was gagging and howling. I guess that sort of could flip the "protector of loved ones" switch in some really strange and pitiful way.

Alright, so you're a nerd and you admit you're a nerd. Don't worry, there's hope for you my friend.
First, I want you to forget what you've read or heard regarding pick up.
Second, I want you to visit this website:

Third, I want you to get out there and start talking to girls. I don't care how you do it, how well you do it, what the outcome is...just do it.
