Do first impressions affect how you view your date?

[WonderBell99]

Yes, of course

No. Everyone has bad days sometimes

Other (I’ll explain in the comments)

[NathanDavis]

not really, not significantly...

first, second and third impressions are just impressions... I like to actually get to know someone for who they really are, and that won't always happen instantly, gotta dedicate to it and do it well... lol

it depends though...

there was a time in which this gorgeous stunning girl approached me looking very interesting and all, and she had a tank top on... so, I could see part of one of her tattoos and it was definitely a Swastika so... nope, I can't do that, no matter how great you are and all on other things, I am just not into neo-nazi shit, lol

[Kabluie]

No, I used to always say yes though.

There are people who I met for the first time and didn't feel warmed up to. But the next time it's a major change. Maybe it's learning about a mutual interest that adds stars to my eyes.

First impressions will show who a person is especially when they start to talk their looks can talk for a while but once they open up their mouths you really have to listen what they are telling you cuz if it's just like butter and sugar all the time that's not a good sign but if there are a front with you and it's like peaches and cream but every now and then it's like salt then it's good because if they always try to butter you up all the time.

Absolutely! First impressions are extremely powerful and if it’s a negative one, it takes a miracle to overcome that! Mostly because, if we think you are an asshole when we first meet. You trying to convince me later that you are NOT an asshole, is exactly what an asshole WOULD do! See the circular logic?

[Rania05]

I do keep the first impression on mind and observe if he's as he what he gave me off at first, a bit vigilant but not affecting the favorability if the next two opportunity to perform makes him look in a better light to me

[Rania05]

But if he do HEAVILY offends me from the get-go, no amount of good in him can redeem my pure non-judgemental state afterwards

[Guy13]

Always, however, in 85% I have jumped that hurdle before asking out...

[Sam69966996]

First impressions only last so long.
Every moment you spend with a person your opinions as well as your relationship with them grows and changes.
Everyone has first impressions.
But I choose not to let them guide me.
Instead, I believe in getting to know a person in layers.

[Jamie05rhs]

Only if she looks mean or not. That's an impression that can last for a while.

Outward appearances can be corrected and the old image is wiped away and erased from memory just like re-taking an exam.

[melanieeeB]

Of course, overall the first real conversation or meeting is defining everything for me

[Blackcosmo]

They do a lot but I'll probably give them some time to get to know them more just in case.

[Blackcupcake]

hmmm yes, in a way. because I never go on dates with anyone I haven’t received a good first impression from… lol

[exitseven]

Yes, you only have one chance to make a good first impression.

[motownplayer2000]

Yeah. But I don’t let that dictate how everything will go

[Flakedfhj]

Yes also you cannot change first impressions

[Anonymous]

In a way yea they matter, but if she is honest with me and tells me "what's wrong" i'll probably understand.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

She is also a human. Be understandabale.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, of course

[jengeorge26]

Doesn’t mean I won’t date him

[pizzalovershouse]

Most the time yes

[msc545]

sure they do!
