If your most intense love affair thus far has been with the glow of a computer screen, fear not that human love will elude you.
Instead, take heart from these eight tales of romance from the hallowed halls of tech greats, and remember that beauty fades far faster than the brain. In this case, it truly is the thought that counts.
Bill Gates
The king of the Microsoft empire employed some lofty gestures to find his queen. After courting girlfriend Melinda French for about six years, he popped the question in 1993 with a rather romantic proposal. Chartering a plane to take them to Omaha, the twosome arrived at a jewelry store. Who was waiting for them? None other than billionaire Warren Buffett, who kept the store open specially for them so they could privately shop for a ring.
For the wedding, Gates rented out the entire Manele Bay Hotel on the Hawaiian island of Lanai, for ultimate privacy.
David Karp
Tumblr whizkid David Karp isn’t fond of material possessions, so when he purchased a brand new $1.6 million loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he found it difficult to furnish. His bedroom was practically empty, and the living room only had a couch and a TV. His one mighty splurge? A restaurant-grade kitchen for his longtime girlfriend, Rachel Eakley, who is a trained chef.
