when you meet someone new, what are the first things you want to know about them?
I rarely want to know anything about most people. I can discern bland creatures from a distance and have no desire to hear what dumb fucking television shows/poorly made movies/clothing retailers/college classes dominate their trite existence.
On the rare instance I meet someone interesting and have an urge to understand them, there's really not a paradigm I follow. It's the individual that speaks to my heart, so, I'll ask a shitton of questions, so many that it's most likely interpreted as overbearing.
I don't enjoy many people but when I do, I enjoy them completely.
For instance, when Sam and I first interacted, I did an 'interview' with him. I remember it spanning a few months and more questions were asked than I can recall. One of the attributes that I genuinely appreciate about him is his honesty and willingness to not be an elitist fag. If you come at the guy earnestly, he'll return earnestness.
That's an exotic trait (sadly).
I also remember a long questioning period when I first interacted with my girl. We would spend hours on the phone each day, mostly spent with me trying to understand her as an individual.
But, yeah, I like to know pretty much everything about a person when I'm interested. I try to hold back though and not scare them off with my inquisition.
