Sample Answers

Do you like meeting new people? I really enjoy meeting new people because it's a great way to learn about different cultures and experiences. I find that everyone has a unique story to share, and I'm always curious to hear about their lives and what they're passionate about. Plus, making new friends is always a bonus!

How do you feel when you meet someone new? Honestly, I feel a mix of emotions when I meet someone new. I'm excited to learn more about them, but at the same time, I'm a little nervous about making a good impression. I think it's natural to feel a bit apprehensive when meeting someone for the first time, but once we start talking, I usually relax and feel more at ease.

Do you often meet new people? Yeah, I'd say I meet new people pretty regularly. I'm a student, so I'm always meeting new classmates and professors. Plus, I love attending events and joining clubs, which gives me the opportunity to meet people with similar interests. I think it's really important to put yourself out there and be open to new experiences and relationships.

Can you tell whether you like someone when you meet them for the first time? I think it's hard to say for sure whether you'll really click with someone after just one meeting. But, I do think you can get a sense of whether you'll get along or not. For me, it's all about energy and vibes. If we have a good conversation flow and can find common ground, I usually feel like we'll get along just fine. But, it's not always a guarantee, and sometimes you just have to spend more time with someone to really know if you're compatible.
