The first meeting often determines the further relationship between two people. It is on this date that a person evaluates a partner, identifies common interests and points of contact. If you make a bad impression, most likely, this meeting will be the last and vice versa, with a positive assessment, the acquaintance can become long-term.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you should refrain from extolling yourself. Better tell us about your passions, hobbies. Once you've identified common interests, keep the conversation going. If you do not know something, it is better to remain silent or say that it is interesting to you, and you would like to know about it. Let's say a young man is interested in the history of Ancient Egypt. Ask him about the pyramids, their history, etc.
Step 2
Do not under any circumstances try to play someone. Be natural, because you have to interest the person with yourself, and not with the mask worn over the face. Imagine this situation: at the first meeting, you said that you were doing business (in fact, it is not so). Over time, he learns that this is not true. His first thought: “This man is a liar! You can't rely on him. Naturally, further communication will be reduced to zero.
Step 3
Try to be attentive to the interlocutor. If you are not at all interested in the topic of conversation, smoothly transfer it to another. In no case do not cut off a person in mid-sentence, as this is a sign of lack of culture. Also, do not talk in a monologue, it is better to build a correct dialogue.
Step 4
Don't be too pushy as this can alienate your partner. Smile more, because it disposes to yourself, but it should be done naturally. In no case do not complain about life, do not talk about the previous relationship. Instead, find a neutral topic of conversation.
Step 5
When you first meet, look the person in the eye. You can touch the interlocutor with your hand, but this touch should be light and short-lived. With the help of these gestures, you will understand whether the person will let you into their personal space.
Step 6
At the end of the meeting, you can thank the other person for a great time. Tell him that it was very pleasant to communicate with him.
