There are people who easily get our attention. The first impression may not be the best. How much time you need to understand a person. And will it change ever?

I believe that time is never enough to be able to understand someone thoroughly. It seems that a person becomes more and more complicated the more you get to know him. The more familiar a person is to me, the harder it is for me to understand him/her. I don't know if you feel the same way or if you find yourself in similar situations sometimes. I guess man is just a complex being who must not be understood but just accepted as he is. (because if you don't, you'll go nuts!)LOL!

You said it differently. Sometimes we still keep a feeling that there is more to know. That's good anyway. Thanks:)

It depends on how much the other person could open his/her mind. I never try to go deep into others if they show some reluctance to be open. Thank you for asking.

It all depends on what they are trying to do or say.. Many people have different intentions, rather it's just talk or wanting to be friends.. Sometimes it does take a bit talking first to see what they want and than knowing if it's something not in my interest I will tell them..Most of the time though it's not long.. People to do tend to make them selfs clear enough to where I can understand them..

depends how much you want to know about the person and how much you yourself are willing to ask. there are some people who you want to know and make them feel comfortable but they wont just open up an the other hand there are those who tell you a lot about them selves, the later are like the people from the movies. lol. like the on screen thing you know. so if some one really wants to show her self or him self to you they will easilt. its about openness. love, apple.

It's openness, I admit. How much you are willing to open yourself depends on your reading of the other. You responded very wisely Ronnie. Thanks:)
