Thx love you honypom" You really need to keep this kind of staff to yourself. I mean, don't involve your girlfriend in it. Figure out how to do it remotely, via sshd.

People are social creatures. If you think you disagree or you don't understand what I mean, perhaps, you need to grow up. This book is not about dating, but it explains relationship between computers and people. "The Inmates Are Running The Asylum" by Alan Cooper. He claims to be user interface usability expert. You don't have to read the entire book. Just read the first 25% of it. And don't event think that geek is synonimum to smart. The first mistake geeks make is ignoring the social aspect of life. The people skills are as important as technical skills to get things done. You don't have to have perfect people skills, just don't ignore this aspect.
