As if we didn't need any more assistance in figuring out that there is absolutely zero hope for my love life, I now have an example for you from a little over a year ago:
I was chatting with someone who was, we'll say relatively attractive. His profile made my nerd brain tingle with delight as it is anytime that it is presented with intelligence and depth. We said the usual "hello", and then when he asked me how I take my coffee. So I told him, and his response was "Lately I've been pouring my coffee at 140 degrees and it's really great that way, you don't even need any sugar or cream."
To which my reply was, and I quote while face palming, "Wow, at that angle it's a miracle that you even got it in the cup. Good job!"
And if you didn't catch on to that, he was talking about temperature - clearly, but my brain didn't pick up on that until after I sent the message; because my geeky brain thought that he meant.....you guessed right, angles.
And how I came to that conclusion at 11:30 pm when were chatting, I have no idea other than I'm a big fat science nerd and there is no hope for me, at all.
Stay tuned, there's more.
