How to impress a potential romantic partner with science

How to impress a prospective romantic partner with science:

(1)
A particular member of IIS who has an unnatural passion for globular clusters and stellar evolution, would wish to hear the following passionate statement from his dream girlfriend:
"Darling, I just love that way you talk..... about elemental abundances in stellar atmospheres".

(2) My own attempt to impress someone with science was when I had some correspondence with a very very beautiful Brazilian extragalactic astronomer. So this is what I said to this most attractive (female) scientist:

"You have some very very beautiful......data"


- Robert

Like telling Racquel Welch she has a nice hair style.
Try telling her astronomers do it all night

I don't think you should do Science on the first date - Yes its fun to get cerebral, but ultimately you won't respect her publications...

I never could refuse a woman who was good at calculus - after she's shown me the area under her curves, it's pure bliss.

I knew a woman who was good at calculus, she was a dental hygenist

Perhaps the chicken crossed over the existential plane into a parallel or alternate universe?

Not I.

I adopted my signature the day after the last Federal election. Still seems appropriate but I will change it as soon as some inspiration strikes. Hmmm ... could be stuck with it for a while.

"Just look up ..." dunno what it is about girls outdoors under a dark starry sky but they go all cuddly and fall right into my arms every time

The big DO NOT

Do not say to her that her teeth are like stars, they come out at night.

Unless you like hospital food of the soft mushy kind.

Cheers

Ah nice - gives new meaning to what came first? The chicken or the worm hole?

In the pub the first night we met, I foolishly showed my future wife photos of Jupiter and Saturn I'd taken at the eyepiece of my Dob, and was using as a screensaver on my phone (very blurry by the standards of many on here!). Eight years later and we're still very happy...


but then she is a research physicist and planetary scientist, I knew the way to her heart!!
