Nice work, Hect.
I can tend to find those easily in a person upon our first meeting.
Self-confidence, intelligence, and so on.
So I do tend to base the amount of meetings I could stand having with said person upon my first impression.
Usually everyone gets at least 1 more meeting, and people who I enjoyed the first time will get the label of acquaintance until the second meeting in which I determine between them staying acquaintances or whether I want them to become more. (This being anywhere from friend to lover to significant other.)
Like you, I saw the intense amount of intelligence and decided I could stand you at the very least, and then upon reading quite a few more enthralling posts I decided I could more than likely enjoy your company/learn something from you.
So you became an okay person.
Whereas my friend Shervan who upon first meeting was okay, and had a similar taste in music to me. So I decided he got a few chances. He then sat by me for the next week in my history class and I decided he was a very cool person. Increasing status to friend.
We have known eachother for a year now and I consider him a close friend. He and I tend to disagree on things because of religion, but we remain close friends through the dispute through our love of music.
It's complicated and wordy, but that's the process.
You asked for it, though.
