That effort is directly proportional to beauty. Im pretty sure he's kidding me?What are your views on what he said.

 It's his (not-so) subtle way of testing the water.He's gauging your reaction on his "relationship" question.If you want to give him a shot, then try and mimic his humour with a comment of your own, the smallest things can lead to the biggest experiences.

As for the mathematician - he's having you on.
Like Eve says, it's what's inside that matters - and that includes you too!
Why not say to him "Go ahead - ask me out - I'm human too!". He could be waiting for you to take the initiative now he's put his feelers out in your direction and showed an interest in you.

 AskEve is right on. He's sounding you out or almost issuing a challenge, daring you to date him. If you like him, date him.

 If you're as good looking as he says you are then your looks might intimidate him and he thinks he's not in your league. I would tell him that looks are only skin deep, it's what the person is like on the inside that matters. He doesn't seem to have a lot of self esteem and is more or less sounding you out, thinking what would you ever see in a guy like him. It's up to YOU to put that right.

he's a real sweet talking. he's smart and witty. so, i would honestly think that he's just trying to be funny. go along and have a drink with him and stuff. but if you end up loving him. you might find yourself getting hurt (:
