[brains, N*E]
How the _hell_ does anyone ever deal with 'oooh, shiny brain' and 'oooh, yummy person' at the SAME DAMN TIME?!
See, I usually have the 'neat person, must get to know them better' thing first, and the 'oooh wait, I'm actively attracted to them, _too_!' thing after I know someone reasonably well. So it's... seriously strange to have had them at the same time, immediately upon meeting a person, and I do _NOT_ have the toolset to deal with this (and, really, beyond doing a reasonable job of keeping it from leaking out all over everything - which I think I'm already doing an ok job with - I don't know that I _would_ be able to deal with this even with experience and practice).
And I'm vaguely amused by the 'hmm. Let's investigate something-ing with two different people at the same time; one I've known for a while, and one I haven't' thing I seem to be doing right now. Ah, the timing. ;)
*shakes head* Hey, at least I do a reasonable job of saying 'hey, I'm being ridiculous and I _know_ I am, but I want you to know what's in my head'. And I'm amusing the hell out of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

However, yes, when both happen at the same time, at the beginning, mutually, those have tended to be the good relationships.

Because, if I look back on behavior... I can see that I probably _could_ have had it happen in every single strongly bonded case, and indeed might have if I'd been paying attention. (and probably did, if I look at things right...)
Hmm...
