1. Smile: People who smile are viewed as being warmer and friendlier individuals.

2. Be easy to impress, or to make laugh and smile: Others also worry about how people see them. If they think that they’re succeeding, then they’ll like you even more.

3. Show interest and liking through your use of body language: Face the person, look them in the eye when you’re talking, and show you are friendly through your open body stance (uncrossed arms and legs etc.)

4. Remember the power of transfer traits: Basically, that means that if you say nice things about other people, they assume you’ll say nice things about them, too … Or if you criticise others, then you’ll criticise them, too.

5. Poke fun at yourself: It makes you seem more human and approachable.

6. Remember the power of emotional contagion: That means that others tend to pick up the emotions we project. So, if you seem laid back, warm, happy and relaxed then those you are with will start to feel the same way, too.

Starting a conversation to get to know someone or breaking an awkward silence can be very stressful. To start a conversation when you have nothing to talk about, use these guidelines.

1. Introduce yourself if necessary. If you don’t know the person, breaking the ice is very simple: look approachable, tell the new person your name, offer your hand to shake, and smile. 2. Remark on the location or occasion. Look around and see if there is anything worth pointing out. Examples of location or occasion comments include: “This is a gorgeous room!”, or “Great dog!” 3. Ask an open-ended question. Most people love to talk about themselves, and open questions can help with this. These require an explanation for an answer rather than just a simple yes or no. Open questions tend to begin with who, when, what, why, where, and how. 4. Keep the conversation going with small talk. This keeps the conversation light and simple, and helps to establish similarities. 5. Synchronize. Once the other person has started talking, follow his or her cues to keep the conversation going smoothly. Use active listening to reflect what they’re saying and, perhaps, feeling. 6. Helpful techniques and cues to convey your interest include: Say the other person’s name from time to time; give encouraging feedback (by nodding, saying “ah-ha”, “wow’, “oh” “That’s amazing!”, etc.); keep your body language open and welcoming; and make comfortable, genuine eye contact with the person. 7. Be aware of your internal monologue. When you suddenly feel that you’re not able to engage in conversation with someone else, it’s likely that you’re saying negative things to yourself. For example, you may be worrying that you’re boring, not good enough, too unimportant, intruding, wasting their time, and so on. Try to keep in mind that everyone has these self-doubts from time to time. 8. Respond thoughtfully to someone who remains awkward or uncomfortable. If he or she appears withdrawn and uninterested, don’t persist for too long. Try a bit more, and then make the decision to move on and talk to somebody else. Also, be careful not to ask too many questions as they may feel shy discussing themselves.

Be funny, which doesn’t mean you have to tell jokes but you can laugh at jokes that other people make, even if they aren’t that funny to you.

Remember that people are more interested in themselves than you, so pay close attention to what they’re saying and ask them questions about what they seem to be interested in.

Talk about positive things, you don’t really want to talk to someone you just met about religion or politics unless you’re at a religious or political meeting.

If you want to talk about bad things that happened to you, you can share it with a funny story or a happy ending.

Find humor in the things that other people have missed. You saw something funny that nobody laughed about? Maybe they didn’t notice, feel free to speak out about it as long as you’re not hurting anyone.

It’s okay if no one laughs at your jokes, brush it off and keep trying but also don’t be obnoxious about making people laugh. You’re most likely funnier when you’re being yourself.

Pay attention to body language, smile, breath calmly, and don’t show people through posture or eye contact that you are not interested in them or don’t believe them. Just stay cool and let people pour themselves out to you.

Make appropriate physical contact, that means if you are one hundred percent certain then you can offer a pat on the back or rubbing of hair or a snuggled together photo for instagram. Be careful though, making the wrong move can and should scare people off.

Compliment them! Even if you’re only interested in them as a friend, compliment them and make them feel valued.

Be energetic and enthusiastic. Don’t be a moping lethargic uninterested jerk who is too good to be there.

Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. It’s okay if you don’t have money or if you can’t go to school right now, or if you don’t know what a word means or if you’re uncertain what a fancy meal on a menu is. You don’t have to show off to impress someone, most of the time people like you because they felt like they were listened to and taken into consideration.
