    Are These Science Pickup Lines Nerdy Or Just Cringeworthy?

    Definitely cringe-worthy...

    1. If I were an enzyme, I'd be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.

    2. You're so hot, you denature my proteins.

    3. Do you like Science? Because I've got my "ion" you!

    4. Did you know that chemists do it "periodically" on the table?

    5. I bet you're like calcium bicarbonate - if I get you wet, the reaction will be explosive!

    6. Let me fondle your vesicles while you caress my Golgi body.

    7. You are the photon to my photosystem: you excite my electron until I reach my reaction centre.

    8. If I were a neurotransmitter, I would be dopamine so I could activate your reward pathway.

    9. Hey, wanna put your alpha helix in my beta barrel?

    10. Can I be the phasor to your electron and take you to an excited state?
