Is it wrong to trust someone you have just met?

Whenever I meet someone new, I always give them the benefit of the doubt and if I will spend a whole day with them, they will gain 100% of my trust. I believe that in socializing with people and meeting new friends, we should always start it with the right foot. How can we make friends if we think negative on someone we just met? By instinct, we can judge a person whether he/she is good or bad and it is through this instinct that I based my judgment on people I just met.

Hi atebuds, It is wrong to trust someone you have just met, this is correct.... The time has changed so the people, in past years the people used to keep the word up even they were not caring for their life to do so but now a days there are people who can kill a person just for 1000 bucks... In my personnel opinion you should not believe any body blindly and it is very important to choose trustful partner in business

I think that we need to know first from the nature and behavior of these people, because we just know and do not need to fully trust the person. To do so you must approach and do often ask about things that make them happy with you. Little by little after you reach him, of course, that person would tell the truth but not always.

I believe you shouldn't judge a person based on the first impressions that they may give you. However, you should be able to trust yourself. If your gut makes you uneasy don't push your luck. Trust is something that should be earned, not given freely. Getting to know a person is one thing, but to completely trust them on-sight. You could be opening yourself up to danger.

atebuds, After breaking someone's trust and confidence in you, it will take a great deal of patience and determination, for that special person to regain trust in you again. With perseverance and determination, it is possible to turn a person's disappointment in you around, and your understanding of one another and renewed groundings for trust can be even better than the bond you had with one another before.

I Think To Trust a Person 100% is Really Stupid... I Had Many Situations in My Life When I Trusted Friends, and They Just ...." Peep".... I Think Need To Be Just Friendly...

Its never wrong not to trust somebody you just met. As we were told by our elders never talk to strangers. At these times when you do not know who your friends are we have to be careful all the way. You can give somebody a chance but take precaution. You might be drag inside their web.

Trusting and getting to know someone are two different things, two which should be kept apart when you meet someone new. Sure, it's good to give someone the benefit of the doubt but your personal safety and security has to always take priority no matter how nice or sincere someone seems to be. So, you set limits for new friends and, as you get to know them, they earn your trust. No stranger should ever automatically have it.

I usually can judge a person after a couple of hours of conversation, whether he/she is a person whom I can befriend or not by their answers. I would ask them serious questions, like : religion, faithfulness in marriage, get-rich-quick schemes, goals in life, etc. If I quite like him/her, I would give the person a chance, but to some extend. Because finally, only time and different circumstances we go through can prove whether that person's a trustworthy friend or not. You see, I found out that people change. They change mainly because of fame, money and love.

hi....trust the man that he/she with you met not long is but wrong not also totally wrong....you trust him and give them your heard's key and you don't know that persom how with you will....

for me, it's not right to trust the person first. there are many ways to let him prove himself and not just to give him all your trust. you can be friends with anybody without trusting them fully. Just be civil in a way of dealing with them. Observe them.

I think that people should be cautious as the first impression often is a wrong one. A person might just try to make himself or herself look good the first day, but that doesn't mean that said person isn't hiding something. Giving an opportunity is not the same as trusting, as I see both things in different levels.

hello dear you have a point but its fair and good if the relationship turns to friendship and he/she is trustworthy. but if its not the case we are goint to be hurt. i think there should be some criteria to judge a person and we shouldnt decide at the first meet. what do you say

for someone you met for the very first time, you can be nice to him. But you can never fully trust him. Trust comes along with time and attitude. Its not that because you do not trust him then you should just avoid him all the time, set the gap, etc. Just be normal with him but always be aware until you do trust him well.

I think giving the people the benefit of the doubt is okay but not at first I learned not to trust anyone but your family.It takes a long time to figure a person out as of how they really are. I found that out the hard way with who I thought was supposed to be a best friend of mine and it took about 4 years to figure that out so my advice to you is to be very careful when choosing friends and as of who to trust.It is a sad but true thing that happens every day in this world.So be very careful with your friends. You will know in time who your real friends really are.Good Luck with your friends and have a good day!

yes you do have a point. everyone has his/her point. for me, it depends upon athesituation. i guess you will not give money to someone you just met? so this is a case to case basis. trust is very important, you can not earn it in an hour or a day. you have to prove you are trustworthy. yes, we must always give someone the benefit of the doubt, but this is i think different from giving your trust. remember that trust once broken is very difficult to fix again.
