Imagine you're meeting your blind date for the first time. You haven't spoken to them before, seen them before - this is the first moment you're having any kind of interaction with them. Before you begin speaking, you take in their appearance. Their face, their build, hair, clothes, how they carry themself, if they make eye contact, their small mannerisms as they approach you. These first few quick moments are creating an immediate reaction in your body and how you interpret them. You may feel yourself lean in more, perk up with interest, smile, get the warm tingleys because you are liking what you're seeing!! You may on the other hand feel some hesitation, slightly cringe, doubt, draw back, feel some sort of level of disappointment. Now as we know, looks aren't everything! You may find even if you weren't attracted to their appearance initially, their personality has changed that for you and you see them in a new light. They become more attractive to you overtime. But you needed to stick around long enough to allow that to develop. Now, why am I telling you about dating when we're talking about high end brands here?!
