Being able to make a good first impression is a gift in all aspects of life, from career to romance. Some people are just born with the ability; their personality oozes good vibes and it takes them no time to make a friend, get hired, or join a new social activity. The rest of us have to make it up — this is where faking confidence comes in handy — or succumb to a mediocre (or bad) impression. While I always strive for the former, I understand how difficult making a worthwhile first impression can be, so ladies let me ask you, is your first impression usually a good one?

Sometimes it really depends on the person . You might give a good first impression but the person who you are trying to impress might be difficult.
1I think I'm friendly when I meet people, but I'd have to ask them if I made a good impression or not.
2i think im getting alot better. i used to be xtra xtra xtra shy. now im more open and able to be myself, which is better
3Yes, I do. People find me likable.
4I'm like Sun Sun, in business situations I have to be very conscious of it and make sure I make eye contact, etc. because I was kind of shy as a kid
5Definitely. It's only later on that anyone realizes I'm moody as hell and very impatient with people
6I'm very quiet when I first meet anybody, though people have said I'm actually very pleasant and nice when they first met me.
I really don't like having to meet people. It takes a while for me to get "settled" into a group, and by then people get to know me better, so I feel more comfortable being the louder, funnier, and sometimes crasser version of myself.
7It depends on the situation and depends on what type of people I am encountering with.
8It really does depend on the situation. I get along easily and well with most people, but there are some circumstances, and some people............
9It totally depends on the situation.
10It depends on the audience too. If they're you're type, obviously it's going to be easier.
11I said it depends. Sometimes I can be my intelligent, nice, & witty (hehe) self, but other times I'm sure people automatically label me otherwise.
12I'm too quiet and shy at first!!!!
it takes a week or two for them to find out how crazy and wild I am
but I wish I was more confident and outgoing esp. for first impressions!
13yes. I'm not an ass kisser, but just a people person. I'm a little bit of everything.
14majority of the time yes but sometimes I do get extremely nervous and feel like a freaking moron!
15I'm really awkward around new people so I doubt I make a good first impression. There is something about me that makes people like me right after we've met but I can't imagine what it is.
16When I was younger, I rubbed my friend's parents the wrong way.. For some reason, Moms just don't really like me.. I wasn't usually asked back for babysitting jobs either! I am, and was especially then, super nice and responsible.. I never did anything to get into trouble.. but when some people spot that red hair, they make some weird snap judgment. I like to think that some people automatically like me better for my hair..
17im funny so yeah, people tend to like me
