I have bad news for you.... scientists never leave work!!! (or at leats it feels that way)

but I'd be willing to make an exception for ya []

That's no moon.... its a GRAPEFRUIT!!!!

the best way to meet a scientist for 'dating' purposes is to go to one of those 'scientific conferences'. everyone thinks we go for the science, but no, its the booze and ceilidh that we're really there for. its called networking daahling.

Visit a city during a huge scientific convention like AAAS or Experimental Biology. Hang out at the convention center. Another good way to meet a scientist is to visit Woods Hole MA during the summer.  95% of the people on the street and in the bars will be scientists.

I can certainly sympathise, briar_borealis, it is very hard to find an unattached scientist of either sex - they do tend to get snapped up pretty quickly! I think it's the mystery and the sense of danger that seem to go with a white coat rather than the money - not all scientists are rich by any means!

My advice would be to try and get involved in science at some level.  My wife originally trained as a lawyer and I met her when she attended a science foundation evening class at my college.  In fact I think it was her burgeoning interest in statistical chemometrics that first attracted me to her [:I]
