Yes and no. He might enjoys parties and working out. But when he meets people at the parties, he’d be very careful not to talk about anything he thinks might be construed as “nerdy”. Also if he had any mannerisms or ways of speaking that don’t sound like the way the other hot, successful 20-somethings talk or act, he doesn’t use them at the party or the gym. He’s himself, but an enhanced or more socially acceptable self.
BenRG:
You know, Dan, you were doing so well there. Fortunately, Renee didn't seem too put off there and is still willing to have a formal date. Thinking about it, it will be interesting to see what happens after this week is over, though. Just how settled is Dan in wherever he lives now? Certainly, an early sign that this isn't over yet will be Dan to become a regular correspondent and 'drops in' to Northhampton whenever he has an excuse to do so!
FWIW, I think that this scenario makes my suggestion about the multiple colliding dates more likely.
I obviously have not played the same d20 games as Jeph. To me, a CHR roll of 20 is an automatic catastrophic failure. If Dan had rolled 20 under that system, he would have become explosively incontinent, tripped over his own feet, face-planted in front of Renee and then panic-vomited all over her shoes. Don't speculate on what would happen if he'd failed his recovery roll!
Now, the roll where 20 is a good thing is in deciding combat damage. Most systems call that 'automatic kill' and a roll of 1 being 'somehow the weapon bounced off the foe's ludicrously-bemuscled body', as Farideh's meme above basically demonstrates.
Reaver:
Dan is doing perfectly fine, not sure how I feel about the implication that his nerdyness is only tollerated bc he’s hot though.
cybersmurf:
I think neither Renée nor Dan are looking for something serious here. This coffee date was basically to catch up and get somewhat reacquainted. And the "OK, let's call it a date" event probably is something like "let's see how far we want to take this".
IMO Renée realised Dan still is somewhat of a dork, and that probably offsets her awkwardness in this situation.

Yes, of course he is doing fine. He is being himself.
He is only doing badly if you are watching through the ship lens.
