First impressions....

I have these instantaneous "First impressions" about people. WHen I meet a person for the first time, one of the following 3 things happen:

1) I'm neutral towards the person (which happens most of the time)
2) I develop an instant dislike towards that person (this happens sometimes)
3) I develop an instant liking towards that person (most often this would classify under the category of a crush.. But lets not go into that!)

(1) is what should ideally happen. But sometimes when (2) happens, I just cannot help it. What is so wierd is that I just cannot seem to give any sane explanation for the immediate animosity that I develop towards him/her. The funniest part is when something like this happens, i can rest assured that I would be having close contact with that person sometime later in future.
One more thing is that it is not even necessary for me to talk to this Mr.wierdo to develop these 'Feelings'. I just have to take a look at him, thats it...

In the previous organization that I was working for, I used to bump into this particular guy in the cafeteria very often and when I bumped into him for the first time, this personality of mine came into form an I hated him on sight... I could actually feel the dislike coursing through my veins.. Such a strong feeling it was and by Murpy's law it happened that I met him several times after that and each time I glared at him as if he was responsible for the second world war or something.
After a couple of months, there was a new joinee in our team. No prizes for guess ing who it is!! :D
And the best part is that he is one of my good friends now. I cant imagine whatever prompted me to have such ill-feelings towards Mr.wierdo. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him and he is a perfectly nice chap.

They say 'First Impressions are the best impressions'. well, it doesnt work for me like that. Infact,as far as I'm concerned, I think i can safely assume that the person is the total opposite of whatever my impression of him/her is.

Sometimes I wonder, whatever happened to my woman instincts??.. It is said that women have an instinctive thing towards people which mostly turns out to be true, How sad it is that it never works for me!!
