[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 australian_joe and ladytabitha, I think...

It does amuse me, yes. Greatly.

For me, the way it works is that I can have many paths of attraction to someone, but once I get past a certain threshold, suddenly all of of them are activated.

ie. once I find someone's brain sufficiently shiny, I want their body. However not the other way around - I've definitely jumped in bed with people on short acquaintance but I don't think I've fallen in love with them.

I *have* been strictly LD text with someone, meet them for the first time in person and then soon be fucking them madly (fastest time, 1h15m). Actually every time I've done that it's worked out well. I've been partner-level in love with a couple of them.

Lately I'm moving a lot more slowly. I think it's making for less stress and drama, and actually isn't costing me all that much in terms of impatience. Maybe this is that maturity thing I've been hearing about all my life.

*nod* The 'I think' was probably more aimed at ladytabitha, as I'm not sure if that was amusement or not. :)

*snort* Just as long as maturity doesn't spontaneously make you stop being silly!
