No, it's because she keeps on asking me to define words during the course of normal conversation.

Also she didn't get the joke I told her \/

Jesus & Satan Computer Contest

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."

So down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports.   They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments.   They downloaded.   They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job.

But ten minutes before their time was up, lightening suddenly flashed across   the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went   off.    Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers.   Satan started searching frantically, screaming, "It's gone!

It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!" Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours.

Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!   He cheated! How did he do it?"

God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

Okay, we'll call that the "control".

As an initial finding, I think we can tentatively conclude that she has a reasonable level of intelligence since she's not mindlessly giggling at whatever you say.

Now, the real experiment will require you to tell her a joke that's actually funny and see how she responds to that.

*-*-*-*-*-*

Just as an aside, I will say that unless you have a bunch of interests in common, a lot of the references you make will sail right past her and vice versa.

To quote from the movie Bowfinger:

Daisy: Do you LOVE Smashing Pumpkins?
Robert K. Bowfinger: Are you kid - I LOVE to do that!

And:

Robert K. Bowfinger: Yes! We'll be just like Bogey and Bacall!
Daisy: Who?

Already done. She laughed at a lot of my other jokes and said I was funny. She also said I was clever.

Slow down Bogie, she says she's not willing to meet me yet. She says she still hasn't made up her mind about whether she likes me yet.

I can understand her wanting to get to know me before she commits but it's hard to get to know her if we don't meet.

I know what you mean, buddy.

That is a little kooky....not wanting to meet you.

Maybe suggest a neutral spot in town?

I tried. She says she hates dating. She says her preferred method of courting is sex and movie night. No wonder she doesn't want to meet me yet.

What does "sex and movie night" entail?

Sounds pretty kooky, like I said LOL

In what way do you find this person appealing?

Maybe take her up on the offer? (but bring protection!)

The thing is if you date a scientist they won't make the effort to dress up all the time because being busy with work. I personally love looking nice and wearing make up but it just isn't practical.

Because of this alot of the time I don't wear makeup, wear glasses, wear jeans (spillages happen) and look tired.

I have to admit that similarly to Barchan I have been quite about my intelligence because of previous experiences of people being not very nice about it.

Edit: I don't speak for all scientists

I think that most decent men don't like completely dumb women, but I agree with Alliekit here. I generally don't get such a nice response to my smarts. Maybe they think I am showing off, but for a while I would really dumb it down on dates. Now...don't care much anymore.

in my experience, it is best if the hyper-intelligent person also has some degree of humility/sensitivity in their relating to others.

No. Waiting for a whole movie to finish could lead to massive sexual tension. Believe me, I've tried. The movies are for us to watch while we recover.

Who needs sex movies after that? Lol

She suggested cartoons and I agreed wholeheartedly

I thought that was the point to build the tension. One movie before then one after. Then again me and my partner rarely get through the first half and end up having to start the film from the beginning
