Ooh, excellent one. I sooo need to do this, and even borrow what you've said here, if you don't mind. I'm scared to find out though! ha But let's see... I've only met you a few times, and don't know you super well obviously, but I guess what I found intimidating about you at first was how smart you are. I'm always shy and nervous around new people for a minute anyway I think, and when I observed that you are highly intelligent in ways that I am not, like you can converse about stuff that's way over my head, I felt intimidated. But then, I saw you relate to the kitties and realized, "oh. she's not scary." :) And maybe also, that you're not way warm and profusely cheerful right away. But I'm sure that says more about me than it does about you. I'm insecure so I like to be coddled for a minute before I feel safe to relax, and I tend to do that for other people on meeting with out even thinking about it. I usually greet people warmly to try to put them at ease I think, but it's really just an unconscious thing of doing what I want done for myself. So yeah, maybe just the fact that you're cool and casual was intimidating at first, because I couldn't tell if you liked me or not.
