well, for starters DO NOT spill all your personal stuff the first time! This happened to me once and I felt like I needed to get away from this person immediately. We're talking everything from personal hygene to bedroom talk. Big turn off, it was like : Hello! We just met!

Approach them with a smile, introduce yourself. Make a complimentary remark about them: I love your blouse/necklace/hat, it's my favorite color/style; I was impressed by your response to the speaker's statement about____________; Your children are so cute/well-behaved/daven so nicely

or, ask a question: "Oh, I see you are buying Markowitz Meals, how do they compare to Haddar meals? Is that a chayote? how do you cook that? "

Be cheerful and upbeat. Do NOT read off a megillas eichoh of your tzores and do NOT make negative comments about the place you are at: the neighborhood, the shul, the wedding hall, the school, the food, whatever.

asking someone's opinion, advice or recipe will usually dispose them kindly to you.

I'm unsure whose on here it is, but one of our very own members has a great quote on her signature line. It is something to the effect: there are two kinds of people who enter a room. Those who enter and say "here I am" and those who say "Ah, there you are!"

Somehow, I think that could apply in this thread...be "into" people genuinely and they cannot help but like you! Wink
