First, what makes you think ET would be a 'he or she'? There are essentially asexual beings here on Earth.
One of the biggest mistakes is projecting human emotions on ETs. I suppose it's almost likely that emotions are universal (at least as long as a certain level of intelligence or consciousness/self-awareness is achieved. But even then, why assume any of their motives would coincide w/ ours?
Don't get me wrong. I'm w/ those who'd like to meet ET, but I try not to presuppose anything (and that's very difficult).
At this point, I'd just settle for a solid, confirmed WOW signal.
