No girlfriends for me, but I do have that one wife. Having a partner is great, and not a distraction at all. She understands and respects that I work from ~9am to ~3pm, and that if I'm in my office outside of those hours, I'm working. I could see some women being a bit more of a distraction, but you just need to lay out your ground rules early on in the relationship to make sure that they can be respected. (Don't sit down and say "these are the rules...!") While its true that you may be a big nerd, that's fine! Just have to find a girl that will sit down for some Battlestar Gallactica, Firefly, and Doctor Who with you. Who will help with your lego sets, and looks forward to a good game of MTG. Feel free to sub-out things listed above that you don't like with things that you do, and be willing to do the same for things she likes. You don't need to overlap 100%, but having some interests in common is always helpful.
