Speed-dating -- the technique of dating a bunch of strangers one at a time, each for a few minutes -- has a new twist: nerds.

Promoters say speed-dating is a great way to meet that special someone -- even if you consider yourself a nerd. And they're trying to show it, hosting so-called "Nerd Nites" in New York City.

Matt Wasowski, "Nerd Nite" founder, says the events have produced results. He told CBS News, "I can at least count on more than two hands the number of people in very long-term committed relationships as a specific direct result of meeting at Nerd Nite. Apparently, whatever we're doing is working."
