So many people speak of their attraction at first sight, I'm the first person to admit I make awful first impressions but I have gotton along famously with a fair percentage of people who actually got to know me, so my query is how important is that damn first impression, am I doomed to be celibate till I die or might I find someone who understands that there are layers like an onion (not a damn parfait thank you very much)
its nice to fall in love with a person on a first sight to feel that connection but to set your opinions about the person based on the physical appearance without really knowing is shallow
Heheh, am I picking up on a little Shrek dialogue? I think that first impressions can be overrated. I have known many people with whom my first impression was, I didn't think I cared for them. But, once I got to know them better, I ended up liking them a lot, and felt guilty that I had been misguided by that first meeting without giving them a fair chance.
Everybody likes parfait. You ever hear someone say hey you wanna parfait and they say no I don't like no parfaits? I am a first sight believer. It works for me. There has been a couple of times when my initial gut feeling was off a bit, but not by much. More often, I ignore my gut feeling, cuz it is so irrational, and instantaneous. Oh how I wish I had trusted it more often. It has turned out that it was bang on in the vast majority of cases. I reach this 'feeling' about someone within a minute, and sometimes in a couple of seconds, so I don't know what I base it on. All I know is that many times it has been a grievous error for me to ignore it. My rational mind would overrule it, and unfortunately for me, has proven to be much less reliable as a predicter of someone's nature.
