About This Quote
"You never know ahead of time what something's really going to be like". This is a simple statement that matches the meaning in the title. It means that a lot of times a lot of people don't know exactly what a person is going to be like when they meet them. They feel how he/she makes them feel when they first meet him or her. Sometimes it's good, but most times it isn't.
