Do you make positive impressions very easily or do you have to “grow on them” for a while ?...and, when going on a date do you feel like the “ hot staff ”  or like “ I'M JUST SO GLAD I GOT A DATE !!!! “  | |

Posted: 7/29/2009 5:56:49 PM | My first impression will vary depending upon the situation: I can be anything from pensive to garrulous, peaceful and private to boistrous and public . Just like in my writing I can be anything, and everything, from terse to prolix.
It all depends.

Posted: 7/29/2009 9:04:25 PM | | I'm just myself, no matter what the surroundings are. I always have a good time as well, so there will be good conversation, laughter and fun. I'm told that I'm easy to talk to and that I have a lot of energy. | |

What kinda impression ( you think) you make on people when they first meet you in person ?
The only time I really care is if I later notice my fly was down.
Do you make positive impressions very easily or do you have to “grow on them” for a while ?
I never ask, and I don't care.
Unless it's professionally. Then I make positive impressions very easily. But I am ultimately being paid in cash to do so.
when going on a date do you feel like the “ hot staff ” or like “ I'M JUST SO GLAD I GOT A DATE !!!! “
Hot staff? Like I'm the cute bartender? I don't really care about the impression. I do care if I enjoyed the food or the activity though. | |

Look people make their mind up in the first few seconds to a few minutes. Be yourself,
if they don't like you, fug em. Move past em and find someone else. | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 4:51:37 AM | | I act too much like an innocent, shy kid. Way too much. Though someone eventually accepted me regardless of my annoying mannerism(s). | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 6:10:00 AM | | I'm not sure if people are looking around for my keeper, or if they are just establishing their escape route, but a lot of nervous eye darting goes on. Then that look of trapped resignation comes, if they haven't quickly moved away. You would have to ask someone else because it's a mystery to me. | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 6:25:58 AM | Well I am in actuality a nerd but......... when I am nervous as on a first date I kind of resemble a 16 year old teeniebopper because I giggle when I am nervous.
I have tried to stop doing this for the last 30 years but I have not figured out how yet.
Any suggestions? | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 9:24:15 AM | My impression depends on the girl, and I'm sure her impression on me depends on how I come across, too. Action/reaction feeds off each other. Of course, it begins on a certain angle, based on what "type" of gal she is from the get-go after emailing and IMing or a phone call or two... which only has a certain degree of accuracy.
The main thing to do is to relax, and not read too much into them from the outset, especially if you're new. Otherwise you may stick to weird hasty judgments and all that.
And one thing to remember is that if you do go on a number of blind dates, there will be an occasion where some very proud, otherwise normal stand-up people, will meet you and be really WEIRD... and not to take that personally, thinking you have a huge problem (check yourself of course to make sure you don't have egg on your face and your pics are at least generally up to speed). That's how some people are -- not seemingly oddballs, but some normal people on the street are like that, and I've seen people flip out because the other person acted really funny when meeting them for the first time. It doesn't mean YOU did anything wrong at all! | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 2:28:07 PM | | Most women I had gone out with found me (their words) Intense. Many also found me to be a bit intimidating. But I guess in a good way because they continue to date me. | |

You mean like a fungus? | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 4:06:02 PM | Sort of, let's say...if you talked with someone by email first or by telephone for sometime, before you met him/her in person, then they had the time to get use to you in a way.
There for “you have grown on them”...like a good'all fungi. 
People who are very open/direct by nature, like me for example...can easy shock others who are by nature timid or shy. | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 4:16:26 PM | I dunno...a few said I look "high maintenance" whatever that means....also I looked married & like I was doing well. Also been told "what a nice girl" & sweet!
I went on a POF date & the guy acted like I had the swine flu...what was up w/ that? | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 7:54:16 PM | I am thinking that i have a bad first impression. I haven't been getting any dates. Next to nothing for messages. So i don't know what my problem is.  | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 8:40:49 PM | I've had a number of people tell me that I'm just like what they expected from my profile/emails. So I think that's a good thing.
In the immortal words of Popeye... I yam what I yam. | |
