WHAT FIRST
IMPRESSION
DO YOU
MAKE?
MOSTLY As
ICE QUEEN
Your chilly vibe may be
coming off as the
personality equivalent of a
dead-fish handshake. No
need to lose your ’tude
entirely, but dial up the
enthusiasm with new-to-
you peeps or risk scaring
them off. Once you’re
better acquainted, they’ll
come to appreciate your
DGAF outlook.MOSTLY Bs
OVERSHARER
You don’t believe in
boundaries and assume
that others don’t either.
Such boldness is
refreshing, but avoid
digging too deep at first
sight. Disclose whatever
you want, but slow down
when it comes to
broaching others’ personal
business. There’s still such
a thing as privacy!MOSTLY Cs
PUBLIC
PERFECT
You dazzle new crowds to
the point where it seems
you’ve been studying the
art. It’s smart to have
backup, but go
easy on the convo prep.
Sure, going
off-script might feel
awkward at first,
but showing your true self
will win over new friends in
no time.THE BREAKDOWN
- When you spot a
hottie in a bar, your
eyes immediately go to:
a. Your phone.
b. His package.
c. The flirting triangle—
left eye, right eye, mouth. - Your go-to hostess
gift is:
a. Whatever’s unopened
in your fridge.
b. Potpourri.
c. An engraved soap dish
that looks antique. (Thanks,
Etsy!) - On day one of a new
job, you make sure to:
a. Avoid asking
colleagues personal
questions. You’re not here to
make friends.
b. Add every single co-
worker on Snapchat, HBIC
and receptionist included.
c. Prep a (funny but
profesh) 30-second explainer
to rattle off each time you
introduce yourself.- During a lull in a
dinner party
conversation, you’re
most likely to bring up:
a. The overall trend in
rainfall over the past 10 years.
b. Another guest’s failed
attempt at concealing a
hickey. Sex jokes always
break the ice.
c. The last Shonda
Rhimes show you saw, before
encouraging a roundtable
discussion on its feminist
undertones.- Your typical first-
date move:
a. Show up 15 minutes
late and ask the guy for some
change to pay the Uber driver.b. Request a
comprehensive relationship
history with the first round of
drinks. It’s like ripping off a
Band-Aid.
c. Come prepared with
Kate Hudson’s best rom-com
one-liners so you can turn on
the charm at any point. By:HELEN ZOOK
