Well, you did.

When someone meets us for the first time, they are physically standing near us, looking at our face, hearing our voice, interpreting our words but . . . they are making an impression on us that we will likely share with anyone in our personal network of friends and family. If you decide that you don't like the way he wears his clothes, or that he is not friendly and someone you know mentions his name to you, you will respond with your opinion about him.
