First & Lasting Impression
| Wed, 11-23-2005 - 10:39am |
I have often wonder how long a first impression lasts. In another thread I wrote about a woman I spoke to in the sauna yesterday. We only spoke for about 10 minutes but I am still thinking about her and I was hoping to see her again today but didn't. Is it possible I could have made the same impression on her?
Can a good impression be made in only 10 minutes? If so, how long is it likely to last?
Speed/Slow dating revolves around the theory that a few minutes is all it takes to find out whether you want to see someone again.
Any thoughts?

Oh, I think first impressions last a long time. At least for me they do.
I had a seven-year crush on a guy that started with one of those amazing first impressions (a million years ago - back in high school).
My current crush is a guy at the gym that I've never spoken to, but there's something in the way he carries himself that I really like. He's made a very positive first impression on me based on not being one of the gym meatheads, among other things. When I actually speak to him, I'll let you know if my first impression was correct. :) (I feel like I'm in high school again, talking about crushes - blush).
I say if you're still thinking about someone days/weeks later, there's something there -- even if it's only based on a 10-minute talk. If it had that effect on you, it's likely to have affected her as well. Not necessarily, but definitely a possibility! Worth a second chat at least, right?

To be honest, first impressions don't really mean all that much to me.
You know, since they were in a sauna, it also matters how much body hair was exposed.
