Pretty much.  No 'getting to know someone' is necessary, is it?  Surely when you meet a girl, you know within a few seconds if it is there or not.

Is there what? We were talking of compassion, which has nothing to do with a particular girl, not of a physical attraction between two bodies, because there is no attraction between two minds-that is just bogus.

  The attraction is there, it's nothing spectacular, it's a small affair: a suitable female shows up in bruce's life-(in response to your other post, the big bruce is just as shallow as the little bruce)-and does that change anything? Not at all, it's still a small affair. If something happens, fine, if not, not. I usually make sure she knows what she's getting into, I don't want her to have any surprises later, and sex for its own purpose is out of the question for me.
  And with surprises gone, she will, too!!!

If I ever felt it was going to be an ordinary, small affair and sensed fear, I'd simply stop and never take another step in that direction not because I expect something grand but because I rather be alone than hook up with people who I do not trust completely, totally to meet me with the same level of intensity and understanding even if it were friends, the reason why I have very few good freinds but they're simply awesome folks.  Any kind of limitation doesn't work out for me. Have always had this way about me that settles for nothing less thasn unlimited, unconditional freedom, love, in all my relationships, be it friends or family.   Even 'my' work has to have an unlimited potential to it, or else I lose interest quickly.  Not saying you must do as me, just being honest.

But I DIDN'T  sense fear: I said that, look back and you will see. Otherwise, no attraction was possible. Some faces don't readily display fear, right off the bat.

The unknown may well extend to not knowing what looking around means.

NOT when looking around is already in place!

On the contrary, looking implies not knowing.

Surely, this is illogical: not knowing what looking means how can one say they're looking already?! The only honest thing one can say, in the absence of any meaning for 'looking', is that they might be looking, or they might be not. That's the only thing.

Indeed, it is all a small affair. Why are you wasting your time with small affairs?

You  misunderstood: I meant 'small affairs' in comparison with the big affair: what is the big affair? It has nothing to do with any human, and evertthing else IS small affair. Which doesn't mean small afairs don't have their place: they actually do.

You did say, "sexy,fearful".  But even if she is not fearful, you are!  The reason why you playing the game.

No, I did NOT say 'fearful'. Never. What game are you talking about? More imagery?

Wow, you never said, fearful??  You did, but I'm not going to waste my time looking up your posts.  I don't need to. With this it's only more clear that you're just another psuedo guru on the block, and no beautiful, genuine real female will ever come close to you in person.  Impossible.  I even doubt you're making up this whole story about an imaginary girl.  So carry on, but you lay all exposed to me no matter how much you now try to hide, not that I know your personal details but enough to see what an ugly fraud you are!  Nothing more to add.  Gotta say goodbye.

Not imagination, sir, it is a fact.  You're a self deluded psuedo lying, denying the very things you yuorself said.  That shows no integrity at all.  Wake up!

I don't think you can reduce it to simple logic.  Logic may help in exposing the false, and 'seeing the false for what it is' may reveal the truth, but logic by itself  can probably not bridge the gap from not seeing to seeing.  Not knowing is the prerequisite to looking.

If I know that I know nothing, what do I know?

You're not getting to the question.  This sort of logic bars the way.  It traps itself in its parameters.

Petty little minds have their place too.

Logic? No, actually: when you know something the unknown field is gone, in actuality gone-the state of the mind, I mean.
