When first meeting someone...

Hmm…first impressions; there are so many different things to be said about first impressions.  I’ve had cases where the first impression told me everything I needed to know about a person, and other times where it didn’t even scratch the surface of the person’s character. First impressions MUST be taken into account when meeting someone, a lot of times people like to give others the benefit of the doubt, no, not acceptable.

To the ladies, if you meet a guy in a party and he only asked you for your number after he just grinded on you for the last 4 reggae songs (-_-); you can bet your last dollar that nothing meaningful will come out of that new contact. I would guess that he’s probably interested in something more physical, than emotional, just a guess though.

To the fellas, that girl that just stared you down while she was walking in holding hands with that naïve young man; yeah, don’t waste your time. You were just the “cooler guy” at the moment. Once you get her and she sees that “cooler guy” again, tootles. This may sound harsh but in most cases it’s true.

When first meeting someone, you have to factor in things like where you met this person and on what grounds. This can help you figure out a person’s motives from jump. First impressions are the lasting ones, so if I met you drunk out your mind, I’m going to remember you as an alchy. If I met you and your breath was humming, it’s going to take a whole lot of Orbit to make me forget it. Okay, so I’m being a bit anal, sue me, I’m only being so blunt ‘cause I love you. If the first impression isn’t a good one, it’ll turn into the last memory, so make it a good one.

DISCLAIMER: This is only a small guideline, not a 100% proof way of judging a person, you still must allow the person a chance to reveal him or herself to you.
