I am trying to find a girlfriend in an online dating app. Before setting up a date, I want to find if there is common ground we can connect on. Below are my interests in square brackets, and girl's profile in curly brackets. Try to think step by step:
1) what impression you have of the girl?
2) what common interests and values we might have? don't list all of my interests, list only those which we share with the girl.
3) what I can text her to start a conversation - give 5 options, keep your style witty and informal. 

My interests are enclosed in square brackets: [math, physics, STEM, travel, hiking, walking, business, tech, artificial intelligence, reading, singing, making music; playing guitar, bass, drums, piano; meditation, psychotherapy, science and philosophy]

Girl's dating profile is enclosed in curly brackets: {
