After the first contact (email or real life)...good or bad, do you

1. Decide that is who they really are and keep them or get rid of them
2. Keep it in the back of your head and keep an eye out to see if they are different

I'll do 1, 2 or 3 depending on how good-looking they are.

nah....1 is making a judgment on the first impression. 3 is keeping it in the back of your mind but watching for a change...not really forming a judgement yet

I don't judge on first impression, I simply note it in the back of my mind and compare second, third, fourth impressions, etc.

I tend to keep in the back of my mind. Keep looking for the red flags as we go along.

10 minutes in I know what kind of person I am dealing with and react accordingly. (For me at least)

I tell myself to keep an open mind because everyone is different, every situation is different, every relationship is different.

Then I mark off 90 days on the calendar, so I know exactly when she will start trying to change me....!

I can usually get a pretty good idea how someone is, withing the first hour of talking to to them. As long as someone is honest with me, they will get my respect, but as soon as I find out they lied to me, I write them off.

i think for me if they are good i just enjoy and continue to talk. without any suspicion. however if it was a negative feeling..and there was a lot of good i continue to talk.. and perhaps i was wrong about the bad feeling.. however am way more cautious then.. I feel if nothing is wrong why assume there will be something wrong.. hence.. I guess my pick is neither or depends on the situation..:wink:
