I first met the LSI, whom I have been seeing, on a factory tour. A group was arranging transportation to the factory, and in a flurry of emails, it became clear that no one wanted to give a ride to one particular guy. The general consensus was that the guy was weird and a creep, and no one wanted to be trapped in a car with him for an hour or two.

I didn't know the guy that well. I did think he was weird, but I've been in that situation myself, and so I said I'd give him a ride. The LSI observed all of this through the email exchange, and later told me that my support of this guy, when everyone else was refusing to help, was why she agreed to have dinner with me when I first asked her.

Evidently, the LSI mistook me (an LIE) for an EIE. I guess this happens every now and then.

It is obvious to me that duals have some form of "dual-seeking" perception, and are looking for certain behavior patterns in others to find their duals. I share half of my functions, in the same positions, with EIE's, and so it would be natural to expect that we would sometimes appear to be alike, just as I find many things about LSI to be extremely attractive, since they share half their functions with my dual. This does not mean they are the same in every respect, though. ESI and LSI are not identical, nor are LIE and EIE.
I didn't respond to this when you originally posted, but yes, that's exactly the kind of thing I mean. It's not about being a "good person," but about a sense that someone has to do something or there will be a big problem down the line -- some kind of nasty butterfly effects.

The first thing my LSI heard me say was me announcing, "So-and-so was a cunt!" -- at a wedding. The bride and I were reminiscing about high school and the meanest girl we knew came up as a topic, and I wasn't gonna let that one slip past without putting truth on it. For some reason, he thought this was a good thing to say.
