Geek is more than just an interest in a particular technology. Geek is a state of mind, an attitude toward learning and technology. Broaden your search to women who have that state of mind, even if they're not particularly computer-centric. They might want to learn to be, if you interest them.

What do non-computer-geek geek girls do? For one thing -- they knit! My wife is both a regular geek (taught herself perl in her spare time) and a knitter, and she says that knitting is, really, basic engineering. Knitters do a lot of design calculations in their heads, they even create algorithms (plans for particular repeating patterns). There's even hardware; my wife has a massive two-bed knitting machine in the garage; it takes punch cards to do patterns automatically. She punches her patterns into them by hand.

Knitting is incredibly popular right now with women, and a lot of women in their 20s are learning. There are classes everywhere, and the knitting stores are jammed. I've tagged along with my wife and looked around; yep, you can tell that some of them are real geeks, by that look in their eye. There are even regular drop-in knitting groups in coffee houses with names like "Stitch n' Bitch." So, while you shouldn't take a knitting class unless you're really interested, I guarantee you'd meet a lot of women, and some of them would be of a very compatible mindset.

Along with knitters, I might also suggest looking at women who practice some of the more technically complex arts and crafts. Not painters so much, but serious ceramicists who are into glazing and serious kiln tricks. Or metalworkers or jewelry makers who cast their own stuff. I've met women in these fields: serious geek material, and often pretty hot, too!
