Do first impresions last?

I think it is or at least affect the person's character. But like you said I guess it didn't last because like you I also had friends that didn't give me a good impressions at first but after I few days with them, I realized that my impressions at them at first was quite wrong. However, there are also instances, that I am right to the impressions I had on the first time I met her/him. So sometimes first impression is important to me at least I keep it in mind and other times it isn't.

For me, 1st impressions dun last too.. Because things can always happen unexpectedly and spoil watever mood or dressing for the 1st time when we meet.. ANd thus, we cant really take that as deciding factor.. BUt however if the subsequent meeting is still the same with their character being like that, then i guess, that's them, showing it as just like the 1st impression they have given us..

For me, it is not always lasting. At times the more aquainted you are with people the more that first impression fades away. You begin to see them in a different light. I can still remember a few first impressions.

I think in most cases first impressions really do count if that is all you will get with that person . That is hard sometimes because we can be shy and most of us take a time to open up , and warm up . Suppose the way a person carries theirself will help. Sometimes, it is just there and you dont know why .

Hi! For me the first impression doesn't last! But it's last for a while! lol I have a lot of friends totally different of the first time I've see them! But, sometimes the first impression last perfectly! bye!

No first impressions don't last. For some people it happens though. But its very difficult to make an image of the person in your mind when you meet him/her for the first time. Until and unless you start to know the person it cannot happen. People have a tendency to behave neatly in front of strangers, but as you start mixing up with that person then you come to know what that person really is. So i don't think that first impressions last,and also the changes in life change the person.

There is no secend chance for first impresion.

If I take an instant liking to someone I am usually right. If I do not care for someone I try to always give them some fresh starts as I do sometimes misjudge people that way. someone that I really really did not like turned out to be my best friend of more than 20 years by now. She was in my Political history class for 8 months before I changed my opinion of her

Some individuals just gives you the impressions you associate with them at first glance. Some of them mostly last due to not knowing them well enough, similarly to what you have stated already. For me, I can't deny to have impression about people that I get acquainted with. Its automatic for everyone I guess but, they could always keep it to themselves before deciding on how they would recognize that particular person. Being open minded can clarify our misconceptions towards others.

I don't think first impression really lasts. There are some people who makes themselves different because they don't want to hurt by anyone. Others they try to portray someone because they want to impress the person and on other cases they makes a good impression for different matters like wanting to be an 'it' or something, be tagged as 'goodies', or maybe just want to become 'popular'. I got this friend whom I really thought the perfect one, she's this quiet type and friendly girl in the classroom. She is very very nice and i thought she's really caring for me until one time, I heard news that she is back stabbing at me. I really felt bad when I learned about it and since then, I never let myself fall into someone's impression on the first time.

I think in most cases first impressions really last. Thought it is true also that you will get to know the person or the real attitude when you have the chance to be with that person for a longer time. Sometimes when we see the person for the first time as somebody who is strict or a snob type, he is really one but of course your impression or the way you consider him will change when you become good friends. But in reality he is really a snob type of a person.

First impressions don't last. sometimes i have seen somone and thought I don't wish to talk to you etc and then when i have actually had to talk to them I have found out that they are very nice people and that I was wrong to think what I thought about them. The same has hapened on the other footing. I really liked the look of this person, tried my hardest to get to be there friend etc, and then found out that they were not a very nice person at all. So we all should think about things before we make impressions about people as the first one isn't always correct.

Basically first impressions don't last. But it gives a big impact or influence on how the people will look at you. First impression will either make or break your personality or status que. usually people prepare their very best attitude and mood so that they'll not mess up the first meetings and everything. But if you are really not that kind of person its really hard to act phoniness. But its always better to show to you first acquaintances that you are a good person. You can be naughty after that. Take care

Not really. But you will always remember your first impression to a person you just met and become your good friends. But there are times it can last, if you didn't stay as friends. But better not judge a person at first, but try to get to know them. We can never be sure of who they are unless we know them enough. =)

no its not..my first impression to my bestfriend was she is a bratt and she has this air in her head but i have found out that none of this is true.. she is very nice and very sweet and loving friend.
