Dating a mathematician is all about managing expectations. Sure, I said I have a "plane," but I never specified which coordinate system we were operating in! Those fancy jets cost millions, but my beautiful 2D geometric plane? Priceless. And technically more mathematically perfect than any physical aircraft could ever be. Next time someone asks if you fly private, just whip out your graph paper and say "I prefer to keep my planes in Cartesian space—the turbulence is much more predictable."
