Physics Dates

As well as learning plenty of Physics this last year I have also started exploring the world of romance. Well I say world but its more like a very small corner. And I say exploring but I still haven't taken off my lifejacket or stabalisers, I'm not very adventurous I'm sure you're unsurprised to hear. And actually I say I'm just starting now but even that isn't even particularly true... You see that thing is, I never told you about a date I went on a couple of years ago. Yep, I kept a secret. 

The first physics date I went on was with an actual Physicist. I say actual but obviously he wasn't qualified or anything. I wasn't a 17 year old dating a 60 year old and that was why it had to be a secret and I've been traumatised this whole time which is why I keep avoiding the subject and getting carried away. That's not what happened. But maybe it did kind of traumatise me. Having a really awkward uncomfortable date can affect you before every date for the rest of your life....Anyway, I met him on the week I was at the Queen Mary summer school. I kind of had a few conversations with him and then a couple of months later when he asked if I wanted to go to Greenwich observatory I took 2 weeks to reply. But we went and I'm sure I would have enjoyed the observatory a lot if I wasn't trying to think of things to say or wishing the ground would swallow me up. Actually I think I'd like to go back at some point because the park is really pretty around there and the line marking Grenwich mean time is there which is cool.

The second physics date I went on was with a guy I actually like and have no problem talking to. That said he isn't a physicist... But he also isn't 60 so I guess he's alright. We went to the science museum and played on the interactive games that are meant for kids and learning but chasing each other with bird shadows is fun at every age. He answered a quiz and found out that he had a feminine way of thinking which I personally find to be a positive outcome though he was less convinced, There was a way to see what you will look like when you're older too and to be honest, the future him is not half bad looking at all ;) 

I suppose there actually was a kind of a date in between the second and first. Well I thought it was a date at the time but I'm not sure he or the other people who joined us for lunch thought so... 

Ah and there was a guy who would send me the cutest physics jokes which always made laugh! Unless I had already heard them in which case I politely pretended to laugh... He was chemist which kind of sucks for him, mostly because there aren't as many good jokes but also because he has to wake up in the morning to do chemistry *shudders at the thought*
