I relentlessly pursued my iei bf and to be honest at least when I'm feeling down on myself I wonder if just about any woman willing to do the same could have gotten through because a strategy of inaction + "what's my surest bet" seems right up his alley lol (he tends to advise me in that direction anyway). He's 39 and hasn't asked a single woman on a date but has been asked. I kind of imagine other iei men to be similar but don't know any. So theoretically the idea of them pursuing someone is weird but that's probably just in my own head & experiences. I can imagine him being attracted to an iei because he seems impressed when I make decisions similarly and he likes witty charm (shocking) and they tend to be skilled at it but I think there'd be a lot of, uh, pondering, on the part of both. If I imagine being an outside friend I picture them talking to me about crossroads as much as each other.
