During the first day of classes, I met with my friends and we were happy that we saw each other again. We talked a lot and there are long discussions of what we are doing during the last vacation. Some of them shared with enthusiasm while others were not. I shared my experiences and they were happy.
When the bell rang, we went to our individual classes and the class is not yet formal. The teacher introduced himself and he let us to introduce each other. As the class ended, I go to the canteen and I meet another friend with his other friends. One of his close friends is a nice lady. She was introduced to me and we knew each other.
After some time in school, I always see her in her in the canteen alone and I courageously went to her. But there was one thing that I said to her which she cannot simply forget. I said to her that I find her beautiful since I see her.
Later on, she became one of my girlfriends and even now that we are not, I still feel her beauty.
Do you consider that first impressions are the lasting impressions?

i think to some extent but of course only if you have seen the person once and have never seen the person again. but, if you see this person again and you have made friends with him/her i am sure your impression of this person will eventually change.

I think it is the same when we say familiarity bridges contempt. If we meet a person who has a high position in the society we paid them respect. But when time goes that we become familiar to that person we ceases our respect or those impression will no longer there. The result will be either positive or negative. If one has already familiarized a person, a certain individual will abuse this friendship. On the other hand, it will end up in good relationship. One of my experiences was with my teacher. When I met my teacher for the first time, I felt that she is too strict. But when I became acquainted, we become close to each other.

most of the time, yes, first impression lasts. because people who doesn't know you yet are expecting you in anyway to show them who you are in your actions, the way you carry yourself and how you talk. and the first time they see you whatever you are doing this would be their basis of who you are until they really get to know you better.
