As of late, there was one LSI guy I had found attractive in one of my classes, and I enjoy having LSIs around, but it is not so much their Ti that attracts me, but rather their Se. I bet I was mostly attracted to that one particular IEE-Fi guy from the past, because he would showcase his Se Role quite nicely, haha. I was caught in the infamous illusion of Extinguishment relations...
Hrm, I did try out IEI-Fe in a romantic relationship but something was "off" with it. Something with the Ti/Fe dynamics. I wrote a bit about this in this thread earlier.

I also spent time with IEI-Ni's, though it didn't become romantic because I wasn't into them in that way. Not due to socionics factors. But in general I enjoyed those times very much with IEI-Ni's, the Se/Ni dynamics is great, I could see myself trying a relationship with this subtype... doesn't feel "off" like IEI-Fe.

Whereas IEIs who were Ni subtype ended up with another Ni lead (ILI or IEI), or a Creative Ni type (EIE, less commonly LIE), or an Se lead (SEE or SLE).
I've seen this myself, LII-Ti with IEI-Fe, though I also saw a couple pairs where it was LII-Ti with EIE-Fe. Why do you think IEI-Fe doesn't often end up with SLE-Ti, more often with ILE?
