AHA! That title fit purr-fect-ly. Now, here is my question: What kind of mathematics would you go out with, what meal would you take it to, on what day of the week, and to what kind of restaurant????? I believe I would take Calculus out to lunch on a Friday at a Chinese restaurant. We would eat at the buffet. All you can eat, for only $14.99! We would gaze into eachothers eyes and then take our forks and stab eachothers eyes and rip eachothers eyes out of eachothers eye sockets and eat them just as easily as the fried rice. Calculus would have the better of it, because only the information it has in it's mind gives it purpose, see? Can you believe I'm dating an "it"?! No gender, NO MERCY! THAT'S CALCULUS!!!!!!! (And MANY other things as well, which will not be discussed here, lest this thread turn into a discussion of calculus rather than an imaginary date with a type of mathematics.)
