The use of "vibes"

Hi

Is the use of vibes natural in these sentences? Any suggestions are welcome.

A - You must have found her very friendly.
B - To be honest, I din't get any such vibes from her -- after all, she was a stranger.

2) It's true that he is rather weird in his approach and manners; you don't get a lot of nice vibes when you meet him.

3) A - I think she's regretting her decision.
B - Did you get such vibes in the brief conversation you had with her?

Thanks,

Tom

PS: "weird in his approach and manners" -- is this phrase natural?

It is odd in that we would just say 'he's rather weird', with the rest understood.

Mr. TomSo, feelings would do?
No, not quite. It is a single 'feeling' about the situation that we generate ourselves; it is not transferred from the other person.

A - You must have found her very friendly.
B - To be honest, I didn't get that feeling/impression/idea from her -- after all, she was a stranger.
