Would saying “I heard chemistry majors like to do it on the table, periodically” be too overtly sexual too fast? This would be my 4th message in the interaction
That's actually kinda funny, even if it's really cringe!
If you want it a little more technical you could say, "I heard the electron "shell" gets bigger if you go down the column"
She might appreciate the extra effort!
For context, the electron shell refers to how far away from the atom the electrons occupy space. When you go down the coloumn on the periodic table the atoms in the group are having more or less the same electron affinity (the pull exerted by the nucleous on the electrons) but the electronegarivity is significantly reduced since we are adding electron shells to the atom.
Lol the sexualisation is a bit forced, but it's framed as a joke so it's not as bad. You'll polarise the interaction. You already set it up so you can't back down now anyway.

🤣 that's right! Gotta use that science degree to aome use!
