Spontaneity :)

I read in a book we decide in the first two seconds of meeting someone, we determine whether we like them or not. and i think this is so very true. i've went back and thought about some of the people i'm friends with, and everyone of them i never had any doubt whether i'd be able to be friends witht them. the same is true for those who i'm not friends with. i could tell in those first few seconds that i didnt like them. my point with this is, if this is true, how many friends do we lose based on those assumptions? i mean you can only really justify like or dislike through experiences and communitcation with that person. so by just assuming that we dont like them, where does that get us?

I tend to like people that are generally like me, but if someone is too much like me, i usually shy away. The same goes for the oppposite, if someone is way oppposite than me, then i usually don't try to hard.
i've also noticed that i only have one girl friend. all the rest pretty much are guys. yeah, i have friends that are girls, to some degree. but the ones i'm closest to, and hang out with on a regular basis are one girl, and the rest are guys.

so yeah, this post didnt go in the direction i'd planned, but oh well. sometimes spontaneity is a good thing :)
