If you have something going on that's more interesting than she is (in your case, maths and science) it actually makes her more interested in you. Your ex is pretty normal in that respect.

Thanks for the clarification; I'd known this to a much lesser degree, but didn't really think that it was as prevalent as this. I suppose I'll start opening up a bit more then.
