Is it true the first impression will determine the future of the relationship???

I don't want to judge a book by its cover, however, I have to confess that the first impression do play an important role in our first meeting with others. A good first impression is half of the success, you can't ignore others' appearance automatically, the well-kept hair and clean shoes will present oneself as a gentleman and the guys in shabby clothes are always disgusting. People naturally prefer to perfect and beautiful things, however, you still have the chance to change others' perception of you in the next relationship, which may form a real and stable realtionship anyway.

it's reasonable from some points but everything is possible...of course, I believe good appearance will give your more opportunity or lucky whatever for your career, family life or even for your personal relationship, but this only begin with your first sight to sb, if you have more chance to stay with the guys you cared, and your nature or quality will determine the future of the raltionship, the first impression will give you more chance but can't determine your fate...thanks and good luck....

Some books you can judge by it's cover, others you can't. My husband and I met at a gym. He would always tell the story of when I would come to the gym to start my workout and how I wouldn't say anything to anybody(i would go right after work). So,he called me stuck up. Finally, he asked me for my number and he started calling me. We went out on dates and he thought I was so much fun to go out with. Eventually, we married and ten years later we have children. So, his first impression of me was that I was stuck up. Even before talking to me He just judged me on appearance alone.

Always trust your instinct and first impressions DO count. If the person made a bad first impression sure give him or her another chance. Everyone has bad days. Truth is, once we have made our decision we may not be accepting of changing it. Sad, but true.

Actually the first impression is very important .But it's not always right we must learn more in communications.

It depends.Many people is a kind of slow-hot,and you must know him/her very well then they will show their true thing to you and make friend with you sincerily .so this kind of person maynot give you a good impression at the first fight you met them,but with the deep going you will found they are totally nice person.

I don't think so. In my experience, first impressions isn't always accurate. In a relationship, there's always the "getting-to-know-each-other" period, within which you get to know your partner better. When you get the know the person better, then you'll find out some things about him/her that may be the opposite of what you thought of him/her when you first met that person. So basing the outcome of a relationship on first impressions seems quite unfair to me. If your first impression of a person is unfavorable, then I think its only fair to give that person a chance to show his/her better side. Maybe he/she was just having a bad day when you first met him/her.

I don't think that's the only factor. You see, so many guys are good at first but after a few years of marriage (some even get to the point of growing old first before they go crazy and become womanizers) before a man become a womanizer or cheats. I think it's different for each person. I guess it's true "Different strokes for different folks".

I believe the way you see a person the first time will remain in your mind for life. I takes a long time to erase such impresions

First impressions last but still it's only an impression. there's just so much in an individual to some it all up in a first impression. True, first impressions lasts but it will change as you got to know the person more. and its true that we can't really judge a book by it's cover, surely we'll have our hesitation to read a book if we don't like its cover but at the end of the day not reading the book is not the book's loss but ours. Cheers!

Yes..I can say, Maximum relation ships based on first impression only. If one person behaves nicely with in the first meet, defenetly we wille expect them in our future communication too But if the same person behaviou is bad at first time, we never meet them again. And only few cases are not according to this. Some times we cont judge too. Cheers BHA

I don think its enough to judge a person in the first meeting,.each individual is different ,some are shy and introvert and some are outgoing and extrovert.sometimes some people behave nicely in the first meeting but you later know their real face. so the first impression can mislead.take your time to judge anybody.

Yes as all u know that first impression is last immpression,it is applicable every where because first look is last look.

you are so right....first impressions can be very deceiving....if you want to have a long relationship with someone you need more than first impression.

hello, riani2009.i am glad to respond your discussion.i think first impression is very important but isn't only criterion.generally speaking, guys(include me)often are pleased to give the good people with good imperssion more chance to talk,try and so on.then i don't evaluate a guy based the first glance.

I find that the first impression is usually the one that is the real person. I give people a chance to prove they aren't like how they seem when I first meet them but usually my instinct when I meet someone is the one I can stick with. If I get a bad feeling then I steer clear of that person.

yes that one is right... its not because the one has a bad empression we'll just judge them in that coz we never know how they exist!!!!
