Always.
It's moreso the way we're raised and what has affected each of us throughout our lives. If we were raised in a secure and loving environment, it might be safe to say (but not necessarily) that some one in that type of situation may find it easier to trust some one. Where as the opposite could be said for some one who grew up with divorced parents in an abusive environment (keeping in mind that isn't necessarily true).
In anything, it's always a leap of faith trusting some one, any one, with any thing. The possibility of getting hurt, betrayed, left behind, getting screwed over, or however you want to put it, is always there and it's there in every day life with family, friends, work, school, religion, politics, etc. Each of us put faith into something, no matter how much some of us can even say we don't trust any one...we even have to put faith into ourselves to make some choices in life...but if we can learn to trust ourselves and be alright with taking risks, life will teach you lessons that will help you through all you do and you may learn even which types of people/things to put your faith and trust in.
If you take a leap and you don't make it, pick yourself up and try again while trying to correct your mistakes.
If you take a leap and you do make it, you've learned.

I do not think that trusting another takes a leap of faith, because you need to know the person you are going to trust,or what if that person was an axe murderer, or would rob you blind of everything you have. The way things are now, you need to be aware of who you trust.

not always. you can trust someone based on what you know about them or what you have observed about them. taking a leap of faith is believing even when there's nothing solid to support your beliefs. but at times, when we find new acquaintances we want to be friends with and trust them blindly because we believe that people are inherently good, then that's a leap of faith, and, maybe, it'd be worth it.

Hi S ,,, just wanted to say ,,, faith has nothing to do with trust when it comes to human trust.... I say these cause I loved my mama whom I had trusted for a long time since I was a little girl... now that I am older.. and got out of the catholic religion, six years ago my mama not only hated the idea she even hated me she didnt want me to come around I saw it in here eyes... so after my mama died ,, I asked my brother if mama hated me for what I had done and you know what he said ,, he said mama did hated you ..... S ,, just saying all these cause trusting and faith has nothing to do with each other... UNLESS YOU HAVE THE LOVE TRUE LOVE THE ONE THAT COMES FROM GOD ALMIGHTY... I dont hurt I am in Peace and mama will always be mama to me.. I just which she would have trusted my judgment and had faith ....yoli GBU

yes, because people act sportaticly, it doesn't matter how reliable they seem, you can never be sure of them. So you do have to put faith into them that they will continue to act and be the way they are...and this isn't totaly stable. so you are also going to a new level of trusting yourself but putting faith in another through trust.

Trust given to easily is not trust. Beware of premature judgments. To the person who knows he/she should not be trusted you are actually insulting them with your pseudo acceptability. You meet someone who seems to genuinely need friends..and he does..but he is also a thief and you have just set him down to your family table and invited him to spend the night on your sofa. If he robs you in the night it is as much your fault as his. You put temptation in a weak mans path. God help you if his weakness is violence.
I learned this the hard way with a sweet lady in her late 50's who robbed us blind.

i definitely think so, because it's hard to trust people all the time because of the looks they willl give you and knowing if they are using you, so sometimes you just have to go w/ it nd have faith

No. Ones trust should be earned. If someone is talking to you about someone else, you can expect that they are talking to someone else about you.
Some times trusting someone is a decision based on their position. You trust a doctor without having to have him/her earn your trust. But to trust ME, per se', I should have to earn that.

Being that faith is courage, I'd say yes.
