Do you try to impress someone you just knew?

i never try to impress anyone cause at my age i realy dont care what others think of me Im happy with myself !

No, I am who I am and thats that, if they dont like it then thats their problem not mine..I am not going to change who I am for anyone..

I think at one point of time. But not now. I want to be real myself. Talk and behave naturally. It is no good to impress others. I don't think it will be better in the long run as the truth comes out eventually.

I agree with you. I just try to be myself. If you act false, you have to be able to keep that personna up forever. I'm a pretty friendly person, so I guess I do okay on first impressions. I just wish I wasn't so shy!

I try to just be myself, but at the same time impress them with my good qualities. I like to come of as an interesting person, but at the same time I can be quite anti-social. So when I meet new people I try to hide that fact, and enhance my interesting or pleasant traits.

Nope I sure don't unless its for a job lol But in my personal life nope.... its take it or leave it with me. I made the mistake of doing stuff to make my husband love me and now its blowing up in my face. I cannot be who I am with him now and we are constantly having problems now. In Hindsight I see I should have done a few things differently.

Yes I always try to impress after come to know some body . Because I believe first impression is last impression ... thanks !!!

Yeah I do believe in that phrase "your first impression is your last" specially for those you have just met and find them quite attractive. Any ways I have been in such situtations a lot of times before, I have always tried to put the best foot forward. I mean I never tried to be what I am not but have always tried to put forward the best in me in the best way possible. Like no would like to seem their dumbest to those special attractive ones atleast. I won't try to annoy any one with a stupid kind of behaviour which people usually get into when they try to over exagarate what they are or if they try to just show off. I believe the best way to get noticed is to notice and learn. I do notice people and so I always stay away from rowdy and hot tempered kind of people. There ain't any good impressing them, no matter how good they look, they ain't even good for long term friendship. Any ways Take Care May GOD Bless YOU

Following my years experience of life, I am used to reserve myself and don’t have the initiative to impress someone I just know. I believe the feel and destiny, if someone I just know can have a good initial conversation with me, I will be pleased and count it as a good start. But I will take time to know that person in long run.

I do my utmost to just be myself. When I was in my teens though, I think like every other male, I would try and impress my peers and potential girlfriends. I think that was just hormones and nature taking its course. I learned the "hard way" that it didn't really work. Being myself seemed to produce more meaningful relationships. :-)

I just try to be myself.

I agree with you. I don't really try to impress anyone by doing anything I wouldn't do on a regular basis. First impressions are the staying impression for me and if I meet someone who tries to hard to be something, that's usually not a good sign. a first impression should always be the true impression.

There's no need.I am confident with my self

First of all beings as a good human being is very important for us than any thing and after that it will come to friendship in my way and when you meet either new person or old friend you should give your happiness to them and share with them and stay with them some time and be honest with them so then friendship grows in good way, so is it correct?

Nope what ya see is what ya get . No put on if they dont like me that their tough luck ,I dont think putting on aires get you any where and they people I net that tryto do that Boy I get a awful feeling and I want to get away from them. My biggest test is the hand shake, If I dont gt the right kind of hansshake I just know there is no more reason to talk to them but I might stay around to talk to be polite but make sure I dont get in a place that close agin with that person . Sorry if this sounds rough but that is the way I am.

Hey a713, I would say yes I do try to make a good first impression by being myself & if I am truly myself then I don't need to worry about my "true colors" coming out in the future b/c I showed from get go. +'s |:)

No I am also just myself. I feel like if you have to impress someone it's not worth doing.

honestly no! i don't really try to impress others by my behavior. i simply show myself as i m. but sometimes i notice that some people have wrong notion about my nature.. i mean as usually i m very polite in my general behavior to strangers or acquaintance so get the feeling that i m someone too innocent and someone they can easily fool(LOL).of course they get to see my true self only after a timespan and that's quite different..;) oops sorry i m getting a bit off topic!

When I first meet someone, I usually don't talk to them unless either we're introduced, or they break the ice with me. New acquaintences call me quiet and "mysterious." One person told me a few years ago that I had a "quiet confidence" about me, which would explain why people asked me for strange favors at times (like assembling a piece of furniture for a friend of a friend :S). When I was younger, and hung out with the "wrong crowd," I could go up to strange girls and start "choppin' it up" with them to impress my friends. I got a lot of phone numbers, most of which I never used (I'm sorry to say). Now I'm a bit older, and have no desire to be a "player" anymore. I've also seen the darker, uglier side of the world, and learned that even the most scandalous and even deadly people can play to your tastes with the most articulate insight and seem like they have positively everything in common with you. On the flip side of the coin, I've seen intimidating faces that hid the warmest personalities one could ever wish to know (I've even seen a 300-pound man covered in leather and spikes cry like a baby). First impressions mean little to nothing; it is time that shows you who is there for you, who wants to use you, and who wants to really hurt you. So I've learned to keep my distance while I feel people out. I am approachable and accepting, yet I may remain reserved and detached for many a visit in keeping vigil of my safety. I am much more outgoing over the Internet than in person, because I am at a much safer distance here. :)

I usually just be myself. Unless the person is very arrogant and needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise I'm just the normal me. No strings attached, no best-foot forward deal. I just smile and be courteous, as marketers usually are, without being plastic. =) But of course, I wouldn't decide on something like trusting the person on the first meeting. I don't go for the first impression, unless he/she forces me to decide never to talk to him/her again. *LOL* =)
