I've never been in a romantic relationship with an SLI although I've been close more than once.
When I was 21 there was this teacher at the university, a mechanical engineer. She was I think at least 8 years older than me and such a character... she was close to being a male, she used to party and drink to get drunk, etc. We really didn't know each other but she had spotted me from meetings with common friends/acquaintances and quickly developed a crush on me. Thing is, she was visibly excited but never really did much to let me know about it. Once, she just took a class with me just to have an opportunity to sit and stare at me from close. My time getting close was rather brief, it consisted of a time in which I found her walking on the yard and walked with her up to a shoe repair shop to pick up a pair. I do remember myself joking about the shoes being "coquette". It seems to have had a profound impact on her because a few days later she showed up at the office with a cake saying it was her birthday. I think it was just an excuse to get close, probably some advice from her SEE friend. I did not continue any further because I met my current SEI girlfriend there and she became horribly jealous of this woman and I cut all communication. Last I heard from her was from her SEE friend. She said she planned to invite me to have a lunch but it never happened.
There is currently an SLI that I'm pretty sure likes me by the kind of questions she asks me and the way she looks at me, etc. But it's far more complicated. She's married with one kid and I have a girlfriend now, etc. We're quasi-friends at the moment.
From my own experiences and from what others say, I don't think IEE-SLI duality becomes solid overnight...
