Vibes


We all get them, some good, some questionable and some down right scary. What is it that we do and say that cause these in certain people and not others?

I was having a conversation with a person and all of a sudden something they said gave me a very bad vibe. I know people say that this is your intuition speaking to you, but it makes me wonder, how something so seemingly innocuous can make me feel like a dark shadow just passed by.

Taken for face value, the comment made would not be viewed as a bad thing. In the context of our conversation, it was a little off beat. After registering what was said and I was looking at the person, the reg flag vibe was raised. I just thought to my self, "Oh no, this is a mistake" and all of a sudden what I wanted to do was get out of there. So that is what I did. I made a very polite but speedy exit of the situation.

But I have found that it is not in just face to face comments that vibes happen. I was sent an email that was very polite and friendly to start a conversation. I replied in a similar tone with some general information. The reply that then came back just made the 'mmm this ain't right' vibe go off.

Not wanting to 'over think' the comments made in the email, I again replied. The third and final email from this person, really sent the bad vibes alarm off and I then politely explained to the person in my next email that I was not interested.

So I have reread these emails and wondered what about them specifically made my warning alarms go off? Since they were very generalized, I asked a friend to read them and what her opinion of them might be. I was surprised when she said that they kind of gave her a<b> creepy </font></b>vibe.

I wanted a mans opinion on them, so I asked yet another friend what he thought of them as a starting conversation with a women. His response was that this was not a way he would approach a woman online. He did not say it gave him a bad vibe, but he did say it seemed like a poorly thought out email.

Along these same lines, I have read emails from someone that although seem fairly straight forward, have given me some great vibes. This of course has lead to further conversations and even a meeting. The first face to face was great and the good vibes continued.

So here I sit pondering the essence of vibes and what makes them happen?

It's like the old gut feeling, something hits you one way or the other, be it in a good way or a bad one.

I think everyone has that happen at one time or another.
