Saying it is just corny and forced.

The last time this guy told me we had great chemistry I reminded him that it was like oil and water and they only blended with an infusion of alcohol

Why do group 11 transition metals have a s1d10 electron configuration in the ground state?


If she answers correctly, you can say "I think we share some wonderful chemistry!"

Well you just have a huge edge in dating. And I'm pretty sure you're either born the Chemistry Guy or you're not, and those of us who are say, the Physics Guy or the Anthropology Guy are just sol. It's why dating is so hard.

If you have been taking to her and things are escalating and you have been flirting and doing some touching, it would very much be called for if you do it as part of your playful flirting.

You can't tell chemistry until you have more contact with a person, and even then it's something both feel or they don't. I would think that was silly.

Comment on something about her, if she's wearing a football Jersey, comment on the team (be playful but don't be mean, it will backfire) or something about where you both are such as long lines, weather, whatever. I would add be positive, I'd rather meet a guy smiling and commenting what a gorgeous day it is then one who seems negative). I would be turned off by such an obvious canned line as the one you want to use, as well as it makes no sense. You need natural conversation.

Have you considered what you'd say after that at all? Or would you be expecting her to take over from there (not going to happen)

I wouldn't just use it to use it, there would have to be actual chemistry, wouldn't use it as a line if i didnt feel it was true.
No its as cheesy and transparent as it comes when you first meet...

Personally as I actually meet someone first and usually have a drink/spend time with them I'm really lucky as when it comes to arranging or meeting on a first date we BOTH already know that the chemistry is there.... so no need to say it

But on a first initial meet..... nah

I once had a guy sniff the air and say .. I like your pheromones .. we will be sympatico.


I guess that was a modified 'chemistry' line .. but I didn't fall for it.

Chemistry is either just there, or it's not. How do I know if it's there when I meet a woman. An incredible urge to grab her and kiss her face! :-) like irresistible feeling and it's usually instant or does not take long to notice it. It's real. I've went on dates with beautiful women and that feeling is just not there and other times it just is. It's a million subconscious aspects of attraction and often is not always explainable.

So discussing it up front is probably not a great idea. Meet her and you'll just know. At least it works that way for me.

So true.

And the converse, if there is no chemistry, it's a red flag, no matter how much other things line up.

I knew it ... I tried to outwit it ... now I feel like a dimwit!

Chemistry can be one-sided which is why a couple might leave a date with 1 thinking it was the best date ever, and the other thinking I hope never to do that again.
