Very true @steemed-open. Great post.
I would propose taking it one step further. Combine the concept of pre-conceived notions into the mix and you have an even bigger recipe for disaster.
When something like your experience occurs and the one or both parties enters into the experience with a pre-conceived notion about the other person, then the experience is more likely to lead them to a particular biased conclusion.
Considering it's more common that our pre-conceived notions of others tend to be negative in nature (I believe) then we could really be in mis-conception trouble.
Oh and BTW. I love your dress. My wife would love it too! It's her style as well. Beautiful.
