Default First impression... turned out true?

How deceiving can a first impression be when you meet someone? Do you believe in love at first sight, has it happened to you so far? Or on the contrary, have you met a guy/girl you totally hated, and then realised (s)he's so different than you thought (in a good way, of course)?

For example, when I've met my actual boyfriend, I thought we couldn't stand a chance for a long relationship... He was so different from me, he was going out with 3 girls at the same time, he was a player, so to say And since he met me, he changed a lot - we're celebrating our 3 years anniversary next month I am glad my first impression was wrong, and it worked out after all!

My first impressions on people ALWAYS turn out wrong.
Like my ex boyfriend, i thought he was the most amazing person ever, and that we totally clicked, which was the case for a long time, then about 2months into the relationship, he started showing qualities i didn't like. But I just thought it was a faze, so I didn't react, and i guess i blocked it out (love blind) Then he ended up being a total prick.

At first, I hated a lot of my friends, before i got to know them. But the only reason i disliked them was because I was stereotyping. like my one friend dances, and when i first found out, i thought "wow, she's a snob!" then my other friend rode horses, so i thought she was straight-edge and boring.
I later found out they were oposite of what i thought they were

I was never a "first impression" person. I don't look that dazzling so that I would just "kill" with my looks and people tend to disregard me at first. They do realize afterwards I am a smart nice person, but at first they tend to not be that impressed. Maybe this is why i also don't rely on first impressions. I did met my guy and I liked him in the first moment, but never thought it would be something serious. I didn't even think about him as a BF until he made it clear he's interested in me. That was 1 month after we first met. Looks like none of us relied on a first impression

i make awful first impressions- probably cause im just that gooft =/

I never remember first impressions by people
im awful at remembering names and faces so it takes a little while for people to grow on me
i had a friend who use to be racist to me and tried to keep up his image but deep down he was really sensitive

Hmm.. I believe if its a particular person you have doubts about, you have to know them pretty damn well. But then, sometimes, even then you can be fooled. I was... friends with this guy for a year and then my other friends thought we'd be compatible together. Somehow, we started going out. I am always wary before I meet a guy or am about to go out with one. I don't know, why but I always felt distrust around him. I hate being with a guy who is really overly possessive, won't let me hang around with anyone that I choose to hang around, male or otherwise. Um, yeah. I think my breakdown might've had something to do with it and that I was still regaining confidence, strength, recovering in a way. But anyway, that ended like when he started uni and even though the year/getting over him was freaking hard, I managed it. (somehow).

I met my current boyfriend a year or so ago, last octoberish. But this time, on pretty much first meeting, I could feel the waves of trust radiating from him. Now.. if you'd relay that question ' do you believe in love at first sight' a year ago, when I was with my ex, I'dve said no. But meeting my boyfriend/now fiance, has changed my views. I am not so sure about love at first sight, but I believe in trust at first sight, thus could be considered as the beginnings of love. But that's just my beliefs, I suppose. But yeah, sometimes even if you've known someone for so long, its not until they show their 'true colours' as it were that you've realised, you're going out with a complete and utter stranger. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it can work vice versa. oof, this feels like a page or so of thoughts.

Sometimes it's true, sometimes not. I think it depends on what a person thinks.

I like to give a good first impression. I try to be a bit funny, i dress somewhat different then when i go to school, for example, and for me it's important to make a good impression because i know many people judge you very fast.

When it comes o others, i am a bit more relaxed. When i met my boyfriend, he had a "bad hair day"... he had baggy clothes, some dirty shoes, a very very ugly cell phone and not such a good hairdo... We had absolutely no idea we would meet so... we didn't expect anything. But the next day i saw him in 'normal' clothes, all gussied up and he was the same boy i met the day before.
