"Love at first sight is a debatable concept. How about love in the first 12 minutes?\nPinterestFacebookOK, maybe not love. But a new survey suggests that people decide whether or not they like a potential love match within 12 minutes on a first date. The survey also included the top things you can do to impress a date (smile, make eye contact, etc.) and the worst things you can do (smell bad, swear, etc.), but those should be givens for most of us who have any hint of common sense, right?\nSo, is the 12-minute period just the time it takes to weed out those who haven&amp;#39;t learned basic social skills? Or do you feel like you have a pretty solid sense of your interest level after that amount of time?\nI&amp;#39;m not so sure. I&amp;#39;ve definitely taken longer to feel sure I liked (or didn&amp;#39;t like) a guy, which is why I grew to appreciate the slower pace of first kiss timing when I was dating in Ohio. Sometimes a girl needs longer than one date (and definitely longer than 12 minutes) to decide. Plus, I know first impressions are important, but I would hope to not be judged solely on my own performance in the first 12 minutes of a date, which I usually fill with constant, nervous chatter before I calm down and start talking like a normal human who takes breaths occasionally. Oops. At least I make sure to have fresh breath, eh?\nHow long does it take you to feel into a guy?\nRelated question: What Was Your First Impression of Your Guy?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
