Can You Recover From a Bad First Impression? Yes? No? Maybe?

Can you recover from a bad first impression, which is the question? My answer is you can. Actually I take that back, you cannot recover from a bad first impression. Well wait, you can recover but depending on the situation. Many people believe that the first impression is the most important one, which is sort of true.

Most people wouldn't want to give a bad first impression to who could potentially be their future girlfriend/boyfriend, in-laws, employer, or even a random stranger who could end up being their friend someday.

A great example of all this can be your average teenage boy who is at his new girlfriends house getting the "fatherly interview" from her father. I can guarantee it though if the boy was sagging his pants and spoke in such broken English and who didn't care to ever talk politely to the father, well then that's just giving off a bad vibe in the first place. No father would even want his daughter to be dating such a loser.  

So back to the question at hand, can you recover from a bad first impression? Like I have said before, it depends on the situation and how you handled it in the first place before you go and change it.
