I recall taking a date to the lab I was working in as a grad student and realizing after we got there that none of it is terribly impressive if you don't know what any of it does. She was unimpressed despite my excitement about all of it.

I later married a different woman who actually was excited about our lab things despite not being a scientist and having no idea what our many beige boxes do.

Excitedly getting monologued to about niche things that are like magic to me is the best. Learning just enough about someone's interest to use all the words wrong though is what really gets me going

You married the right one.

Being excited about random things you admire is a sign of genuine and great love :)
