Help, I've fallen for an astrophysicst

  • Thread starter Klute
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses a young woman's feelings for an astrophysicist she met through her local astronomical society. She worries that he may not be satisfied with a partner who does not fully understand his work, but others reassure her that a relationship is about celebrating differences and she should not let self-doubt get in the way of pursuing a potential romance. Ultimately, she is advised to ask him out and not worry about their different interests.

Which procedure? Sex with 12 guys?

I hope you realize a lot of your genders do those IOI. So you're calling your gender dumb >_>

A lot of people pray before exams in addition to studying.

You are telling the OP to forget about actually studing and just pray. Does that make Evo dumb for saying your advice to "not study" is terrible advice?

Hmm...we try to keep the level of discussion here above retorts that a 10-year-old would use.

Your advice is truly bizarre: don't ask him out, just flirt; take him to a club and "at least become intimate there" (:confused:); and to sleep with 12 guys to be sure of her feelings...really?!?

You're either trolling, or you need to work on your delivery.

I concur!

Much better advice:

Ask him out and stop worrying. You are looking for a romantic relationship not an academic collaboration. You sound like a nice person. :smile:

It's actually pretty flattering to be asked out on a date by a woman. Not emasculating at all. Much harder is to say no without hurting feelings.

There's been a first successful date based on our advice?? :eek:

They should dump them immediately! If anything anyone has suggested here actually worked, then there's something seriously wrong with the person they're dating!

It kind of makes me wonder ... where is a person most likely to get good dating advice?

1) The Physics Forum
2) The Divorce Forum
3) Yahoo Answers
4) From a Chinese fortune cookie

Should a person be depressed about having searched all four places for advice?

Imagine the headlines a few centuries from now:

Hello Everyone, my, my this thread has been busy since I last checked! Yes sorry for not reporting back sooner but thought I would post today to let you all know that everything is still going great with my astrophysicst! It's still very early days but we have really clicked and I just have a really great feeling about things, not exactly scientific but sometimes you really do just need to go with your intuition. Thanks again everyone for all the advice and giving me the push I need to go after him. This is my best Christmas in years!

Merry Christmas everyone and all the best for 2010!

I would say that's the first time I hear that PF advice was actually right. But if it worked - I am happy with you.

All the best!

I am not sure what that means ... in a relationship/single/complicated
