Can ya tell me how to get....

Have you ever come across someone, in any situation, that you've immediately liked so much you were positive you wanted to get to know them better? Something about their personality/look/style/writing that had you hooked from moment one?

A strange little piece of spark that tickled something in your brain and made your heart go buh-BUMP?

Perhaps it was sexual, or intellectual, or romantic, or maybe just a friendly attraction.

To follow through, to learn more about that person, to inject pieces of yourself into their lives...is that obsession? Or a healthy desire to explore something you wonder at? To explore something that intrigues you and begs to be picked apart and experienced?

Is it better to sideline it, and dismantle it all in your own head? In the face of awkwardness, is it better to let it slide and settle, possibly giving up an opportunity to broaden your own horizons as well as theirs?

For fuck's sake. Bottom line, when faced with a prospect of any interaction, and the uncertainty of how to go about it, how DO you go about it?

I'm curious as to how other people handle a situation such as this, and it's brimming over and out of my mind. I know how I deal...I'm just wondering if it's always the most appropriate, or the best idea to do so. Or even if it's a normal sort of thing to do. All input is welcome. I've a guestbook, ya know. Or notes.
