What Kind of First Impression Do You Make?

Welcome to this week's lifestyle quiz from Denver Living Magazine! We all know that meeting new people can feel stressful. Whether you are going on a blind date, starting a new job, or just trying to make friends at a local cafe, your first impression matters a lot.

Question one: You walk into a crowded room for a networking event. What is your immediate reaction? Do you try to strike up a conversation right away, or do you stand near the wall and wait for someone else to break the ice?

Question two: How do you usually handle an awkward silence during a chat? Do you panic and talk too much, or are you easygoing enough to just smile and let it happen naturally without feeling stressed out?

Question three: When you talk to someone new, what do you focus on the most? Do you worry about your body language, maintaining steady eye contact, or keeping a charming sense of humor so they will like you?

Question four: Do you find it hard to open up to strangers? Many reserved people need time before they feel comfortable, while talkative people can come across as overly energetic.

Now, let's look at your results based on your answers!

If you chose mostly A answers, you are super down-to-earth. You don't worry about making a huge impression. You just let things flow naturally, and people always appreciate your relaxed vibe.

If you chose mostly B answers, you are very cautious. You spend hours picking out the best profile picture or planning what to say. You want everything to be completely perfect before you meet someone new.

If you chose mostly C answers, here is your result: You are completely overthinking it! Stop worrying about body language and clever icebreakers. Just be yourself, because trying too hard never works, and the right people will click with you effortlessly.
