- Smile, but slowly. Let the smile spread over your face like you're happy to take in who's in front of you.
- Let them talk about themselves, and show genuine interest in who they are and what they're offering you.
- Mirror their body language.
- Light and appropriate touch, like on the upper arm.
- Forget yourself. Focus on them. Stop trying to gauge whether they like you or not.
- Gentle and inquisitive eye contact.
- Make sure you always smell nice. This means eliminating all bodily and oral odours. It doesn't mean having a distinctive perfume or cologne, which can be offensive to some people.
- Use their name. Repeat it to them when they tell you, add it to the end of sentences in conversation.
- Ensure your appearance is pleasant. This doesn't mean looking cool or chic. The emphasis should always be on hygiene. If you have no style or bad taste, just focus on looking (well, being) clean, neat, tidy, symmetrical.
- Speak in a calm, moderate voice, with variation in speech tones to keep it interesting. Don't be too loud, too quiet, too excited, too dull or mumbling. Your voice is your siren song.
