I think she must have seen Bashir at first as being immature, arrogant, sheltered, uninteresting, and possibly even shallow.
Can't imagine why.
As for Jadzia: She obviously likes to party. Kobayshi makes a good point that I hadn't considered, though, about joined Trills being more likely to be bi simply because of their memories of male and female hosts (although it's probably not that simple - just because a Trill might remember stuff like this from past hosts, doesn't mean they would necessarily still like it).
And I thought Jadzia was perfect for an old stooge like Worf. They really brought out the best - and, sometimes, worst - in each other. Plus, the "Klingon bachelor party" episode was bloody hilarious. So I don't see why people keep ragging on Jadzia/Worf, because I thought it was brilliant.
Personally, I think that Change Of Heart is great., even the B-plot is quite good. (Quark distracting Bashir by talking about Jadzia was masterfully executed).
Well he really did seem that way in the first seasons, one of my favorite Bashir moments of all time is during the first episdoe where, he's talking about how he could have had any job assignment he wanted but, he chose DS9 since he's excited about getting to practice "frontier medicine", and Kira glares daggers at him and makes sarcastic remark about him hopping he finds "us natives friendly" or something to that context. I do believe his hiding the fact that he's genetically engineered made him insecure and as a result made him feel as if he had to put up false pretenses of being more 'normal' then 'normal'.
I agree also that the memories of many lives as both men and women would make a Trill somewhat bisexual, of course they're people as unique and diverse individually as humans and so it would depend on the particular person that's being joined, it would also depend on say, if you're talking about a male with very heterosexual tendencies and then he's joined with a symbiont that had 5 life times coincidentally all female. The blend between host and symbiont life times is a complex one indeed, not to mention the fact that we don't know if the symbiont themselves don't have core personalities of their own that follow the hosts.
Speaking of bi sexuality for all we know if you turn out to have bi sexual tendencies in your physiological evaluation that might earn you "brownie points" with the symbioses commission if you're a candidate for joining since they'd figure you'd be slightly better adept to deal with the changes you'll be experiencing post joining.
