So people what would you do to give a good first impression?

This is what i would advice:

Always smile, keep focus on eyes remembering not to drift a look around their body, listen to what they say replying to questions rather than day dreaming, and make conversation (dont let them do all the work, you have put out a little bit), the biggest thing though is being yourself!

I want to know what you like to see from a guy/gal when your making your first impressions.

You have pretty much said it all.

It's horrible when a guy talks to your tits rather than your face

Looking interested at all times..(hard I know..) No rolling the eyeballs..tryin' to yawn as little as possible... Works wonders for me. However, with a guy, I know if he ain't that interested if he's too caught up in what's going on around or if he's easily distracted.

well i have been kissing a girl and been distracted at things around me, so thats not always true. I was definately into her.

mmm yeh doesnt sound all that right...

Picture it this way, kissing her, her eyes are closed so you look round the room with your eyes hehe.

Yeh i understand you didnt mean it for every possible situation. sorry.

First impressions mean so much. Have many of you had a bad first impression of someone yet later on been into them?

Oh yes, definatelly..lol! but I just think it was probably down to nerves...I only really get nervous if I really like the person, if I don't, then ....lol! Guy's are really cute when the're nervous though..and because I'm a sensitive girl, it makes me like em more cus it shows their keen...Just as long as their bad first impressions ain't nothin over the top...(If i've made any sense at all!)

i love a good smile. a good smile lights up the eyes and is always attractive never frown cause you dont know who's falling in love with your smile x

The cheeky little smile is a killer. Especially when you catch someone checking you out and you smile at them.

Nervous, i usually have a way with words, i feel very odd when i cant use the gift of the gab, if i cant i know im nervous. I love the chat its so good, and awesome for first impressions.

A lot of the ideas and advice here seem to have overtones of a very selfish woman who is all "me-me-me-focus-on-me-only-me-me-me". I mean, just look at some of this advice :-

- keep focus on eyes remembering not to drift a look around their body
- listen to what they say replying to questions rather than day dreaming
- make conversation (dont let them do all the work, you have put out a little bit)
- Look interested at all times (hard I know..)
- No rolling the eyeballs..tryin' to yawn as little as possible...
- I know if a guy ain't that interested if he's too caught up in what's going on around or if he's easily distracted.

In my honest opinion, it all comes over as a load of dogmatic b*ll*cks!

I've even used these methods long before I ever saw them on this forum, and they're not as guaranteed to work as is made out here.

Even the good smile which allegedly "lights up the eyes" can fail to deliver. As for the cheeky little smile... oh I've had enough - you can tell what mood I'm in.

mmm im not saying they are guaranteed to work what i am saying is that it can give some people a better chance. The people out there that dont have the confidnce within themselves to find someone to be with.

Women usually do need more attention than men, buts thats general, not with them all.

Physical attration is by far the easiest way to notice someone, but i believe a good personality can give you a chance.

oooo i feel a sense of feeling sorry for yourself. Everyone has been through something, and as the good old saying goes... 'what doesnt kill you makes you stronger'

Life isnt perfect, we just make the most of what we have.
