Bill Gates: I Was Below Average On Talking To Girls

Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen famously met while attending Lakeside School, a private school in Seattle. Although Allen was two years ahead of Gates in school, they became friends over a shared love of computers.

One of the things they used to do was to hack into computers.They even came up with a scheme to hack computers to help Gates meet girls: they enrolled him into classes where he was the only boy, he confessed in an interview with BBC.
Unfortunately, that didn't really help him confessed: "Paul did the computer scheduling with me. Unfortunately for him he was two years ahead of me and he was off to college by then. So I was the one who benefited by being able to have the nice girls at least sit near me. It wasn't that I could talk to them or anything — but they were there. I think I was particularly inept at talking to girls, or thinking, 'OK — do you ask them out, do you not?' When I went off to Harvard I was a little bit more sociable. But I was below average on talking to girls."
