Are there any people on here who at first you were unsure about and then you found out they were sound? Im sure we have all come across that scenario? I have certainly in quite a few cases and found these people to be some of my best mates on here now. It goes to show that first impressions are not always the right ones! Davexx

Hello Dave Don't know if I'm a good judge of character or just lucky but when I've met people I've liked the ones that I thought I would. There have been one or two on the boards I thought were sound to start with but have then seen other sides to them but mostly my first impressions are right:)

first impressions are not always what they seem. impression of people change as you learn more about them, and it swings both ways sometimes jess

Hey Gwen, Don't judge a book by it's cover. Taxi!

It was a joke Gwen, I took the fact that you worked in a library and....ah forget it ;-)

Hi eveyone, just popped in cause this interested me, hope you dont mind. My Nana always said that old saying 'dont judge a book by its cover' but then added 'wait until you have turned each page and finished the book before you decide if you like the story'. Always stuck with me.

He he :-)

Hi Dave I think first impressions are the most important. I always go with them and usually it turns out that I am right

LANGUAGE! Dave I can only apologise for Gwen's foul mouth and bringing your thread down to a horrible new level.

Dave not had it that way but have had a couple i thought were sound and turned out not to be....and an another who i thought would be ok, but not my cup of tea, but not unsound if you know what i mean.. was totally wrong on that one..

Im only saying this because when I first came on here CB was one I was unsure of but she is a very good friend now. Mandy in Somerset is another who I got a wrong impression of and It wasnt justified she is a lovely person, and there are lots more like that . And Gwen judging somebody by where they worked lol I know what you mean pmsl! Dxx

I'm with Shelli - have had it the other way round. Have thought people were nice, then later I have been disappointed in them. Having said that, I have got on like a house on fire with almost everyone I have met from here so far. Maz. XX

Well i used to work in Glasgow zoo...one comment about that and i will be unstoppable ...fuff

Think I would rather meet someone then make judgements as to what they are like people tend to be different behind a computer monitor than face to face found that out via the meets Paul

Lady Im only naming the names of people I was wrong about and both of those ladies are good friends now! Im very glad to say . Dxxx

I know what you mean Paul but there are some people I just wouldn't want to get to know cos of the views they've expressed or the way they've expressed themselves - not my sort of people n best avoided:)

As others have said, first impressions aren't always right, although in many cases they are. Theer are people on here that I wasn't sure I liked at first, but get on brilliantly with now. There are others that I thought were OK, but then later changed my mind. Thats just life I think. One thing I'll say is that one mans meat is another mans poison, so just because I don't get one with someone, doesn't mean they're not nice people, and vice versa. I must add though, that I don't think I've been wrong about many people. 3 or 4, tops.

David i agree there are certain peeps on here who i feel i wouldn't like, because of things they say or the way they put them. However giving that i got it wrong once, if given the chance I'd probably bite the bullet and meet them once to see if i was right or wrong. Paul is right people can be very different in 'real' life to what they are behind their computer screen. So at times it is hard to know if you've clicked or not.

Your right about that as well Paul ! Dave

erm erm erm well i suppose for a blue and having met i suppose erm this isnt easy # your not so bad really keith
