You may not be a scientist, but you sure do know a thing or two about chemistry (between you and your date, that is!). And whether they get turned on when you speak nerdy to them or not, anyone can enjoy the aesthetic appeal of these vintage molecular models. The one above goes for $295, but you can also snag one on eBay for much, much less.

For added effect, drop some nerdy pick-up lines:

• How about we go to my bedroom and form a covalent bond?
• Can I be the phasor to your electron in this excited state?

Science puns FTW!
