The first time someone lets you see them; believe it? Agree or disagree?

Yes.  I was talking with a friend of mine and told her that a mutual friend of ours was pregnant.  Another friend that knew the supposedly pregnant woman had told me, and I trusted her because she was roommates with the woman at the time.  My friend said the woman wasn't pregnant, she was depressed and had put on a little weight.  I said no way (not very nicely) and my friend got angry.  A couple of days later, I asked the woman if she was pregnant and she burst out crying and told me about losing her boyfriend.  I was so embarrassed.  I called my friend and asked her out to dinner and while we were eating (she is a forgiving soul, and I was picking up the tab :)  ), I apologized and said what a jerk I was.  She agreed with me and let it go.  I try to verify things now.  If I am going to take a strong stand on something I say, I want to be well informed.

yes, if we wanted to go on a date with you we would say yes the first time you asked!

i feel that, if they are really your friend... then they should be able to accept your perception of reality and at least listen to what you have to say. if they are your friend... what you say could, or should be important enough to listen to; not nessesarily agree with.  it's okay to: agree to disagree! you might just be right, but it's not your business to impose your feelings on someone, but if you care for someone, then it should be okay to at least warn them! if they take it the wrong way... you don't own that. you said your piece. if they get mad; apologize and step back. you've done the best you could do! peace-out, Saint Gillian.

Civility & understanding always works. I am working for honest friendships with Yahoo Q&A people who do not believe as I do. I think the secret to acceptance is in our very makeup. We have ONE mouth and TWO ears. We should all listen twice as much as we speak.

Yes it is, especially when the person smiles at you or he or she gets "that look" in their eyes.  \n\nIt can also be a sign of love at first sight if you believe in that.

I personally feel like if it happens once shame on them if it happens a second time shame on you for letting it happen. Trust is a hard thing to build once its lost you can take that friend with a grain of salt because even if you do give her a second chance this incident will always be in your mind

when I first started a new job the woman training me at first came off as being a real witch. It turned out that when I got to know her she was really a nice person. Sometimes you meet a person and they can come off being a real pain in the butt only to discover later that they had a bad day or whatever. First impressions are often right but not always.

hahahah  yes, I did once because they said they wanted to have a conversation, which IMPLIES a two sided discussion.  BOY!  was I wrong!  Never again...

I usually dont invite since people might think the wrong thing, i begin talking with them and if they're cool with me, they usually invite me and i accept. I havent declined anyone yet. And i might invite you simply to show that i do still give :)

I know how hard this could be I have been in this situation before. I have found out however through my own experiences that complimenting my friends on their best features is a great way to start out, this open the line of communication and allow for that individual to become comfortable with you and trust your judgement on things. I recommend that if you want to tell someone something make sure it is a individual you have history with, do not attempt on giving someone constructing criticism without establishing some sort of recurring trust. Remember choosing you words correctly is important in conveying a constructive critique. See ya!!

Maybe the people you are referring to are, at the time of your encounter, projecting their previous experiences onto you. Maybe something you have said or done, quite innocently, has reminded them of an aspect of someone they know or knew or even themselves. They feel they have to put you in the same box. \n\nI find there are a lot of people who feel they 'have to have an opnion' even when they have no prior experience of what you are talking about, often because they feel insecure. Expert syndrome. \n\nThere again, maybe I only read the first few words of your question and thought I knew all about everything & I actually thought I was in the automotive section, because I didn't read the catagory listing properly.\n\nHaving met these people on the dating scene, at least you know one thing... NEXT!
