Make a good first impression The first time you meet someone is the time to really strike a great impression about you in their minds. But then, how do you do this? You can do this by simply smiling the first time you meet someone. Your smile tells the person that meeting them is pleasant. It can make them like you immediately. Once a person likes you, you guys can then start talking in exchange contact. If they however dislike you immediately, you have to work harder to change their impression. It is after all, far easier to make a first good impression than to amend a bad one. Remember not to be weird. Go into research about them so that you don't carry things that give them allergy is different from talking to them about their parents. 2. Be warm and friendly It can actually be really tough to be warm and friendly when your legs are wobbling under the weight of nervousness. Have you ever liked someone so much that being around them makes you nervous? If this is you, try pretending you didn't see them for a moment. Let them call you attention if they know you. That way, you won't feel so nervous. Smile and be warm. Don't be forward or show them that you have too much interest in them unless they also like you. This can be a ton of. 3. Prolonged eye contact Eye contact is a great way to hold a person's attention. But if overdone, it can make the other person uncomfortable. You probably should try to make eye contact while talking to the person you like. It has a way of making them really see you. Making eye contact and smiling is even more potent. Many of the times, this can make the other person smile too. It's a win-win situation, right? You just have to do it. Imagine going on a first date and looking at your feet the whole time while many people may interpret it as nervousness. Some people will think that something is wrong with them that this is why you can't look at them. Suddenly, once this happens, you may find it more difficult to convince them otherwise. Don't worry though. You can always try with someone else. And this time, look at them. Make eye contact. 4. Compliment them Everyone loves compliments. Simply complimenting a man's thigh can make his day. It is important you understand that compliments may not necessarily be something big. It just has to be sincere. People who compliment people's dresses and laugh behind their back are the worst. Compliments can make people smile, feel better. You really should give out more compliments than you currently are. According to Lifehack, when you compliment others, you are shifting your attention from all the things going wrong in your day and putting it on helping make someone else's day a little sunnier. It is actually a selfless act and endures people to you more. If you have a crush on someone at work, compliment their hairstyle, their clothes, their smiles and their shoes from time to time. You have no idea how confident a person can become when they get approval from others. Don't do this in such a way that people will suspect you just want to get their attention. 5. Add value to their lives Are you crushing on someone at work? Why not volunteer to help them out with some work from time to time? When you do that and they are able to meet right deadlines, they will become indebted to you. Over time, they will start to like you and cherish you. But don't do it too often. If you do, the tendency is for them to take you for granted. Once they do that, your hard work and sacrifice will not mean much afterwards. 6. Body language Body language is one of the fundamental tricks of getting people interested in you. Later gestures like winking, slightly brushing your hands on your hairs and making eye contact and looking away slowly are all parts of the tricks. They are to be used on different occasions though. You, for example, should not wink at a work colleague during a strategy meeting or he will think you are trying to distract him and possibly get him fired. The timing must always be right. If you do it at the wrong time, you risk doing it wrong. A typical example is holding your date's hand during dinner before they have shared something personal. If they retracted your hand, you may need to work hard for another date. 7. Be yourself This is perhaps the oldest trick in the book. People always prefer dealing with real people all the time. If you have feelings for your friend, let them know. They may not feel the same way. But if they did, you would never know unless you opened up. Don't try to become who you think they want you to be. Be yourself. If you can't afford a restaurant your date has peaked, tell them you can't afford it. 8. Spend time with them This is a golden rule of getting people to want you if you are interested in them. According to Business Insider, 22% of people actually meet their romantic partner at work too. This compacted 13% meeting online, 18% meeting true friends, and 10% finding each other on a night out. This clearly shows that people who spend time together tend to develop romantic relationships. If you want to get someone you want, spend a lot of time with them. The more time you spend with them, the more the likelihood that they would develop feelings for you. 9. Project positive vibes If you are in the habit of complaining about everything, you need to take a break. One of the tricks is to project positive vibes. This means being grateful for everything and having a positive attitude to work and life. I however don't recommend you become positive solely for this reason. This will make you fake. Be positive because you are truly positive and you will attract the person you want. The good thing about being positive, the good thing about positive vibes is that it makes those who come around you feel very peaceful. 10. Show care and genuine interest Show interest in his or her issues A person who sees you as always interested in his or her well-being will eventually entertain the idea of being with such a wonderful person like you. This however will only work if you do it with pure intentions. If you do it with an agenda, the chances are that they will find out and when they do, then they will hate you. No matter what you do, you are supposed to ensure you don't damage your relationships with the person you want to the point of hating you. Hate is a strong emotion. It doesn't go away quickly. 11. The mysterious As much as you want the person you like to notice you and then probably like you back, you have to appear out of reach to pick your interest. These apply especially to women. According to Verily magazine, most men will only date a woman if he is interested and ready regardless of who pursues who. So in the end, pursuing a guy really doesn't increase your odds of romantic success, only your chances of being met with disappointment. This means that giving the guy too much attention is not the best plan because he may not feel the same way too. On the contrary, if you are nice to him and don't necessarily give him the time of day, he will out of curiosity want to know you more. This however is not a guarantee that he will enter into a relationship with you. 12. Look your best always Your looks count a whole lot. While this may not be the sole reason anyone will date you, but it does add to your credit. Looking good makes you more attractive. It also makes people want to talk to you. You probably should wear heels more often on Mondays. 13. Don't try too hard This is also one of the tricks. Don't appear desperate. People generally run away from desperate people. No one wants to be with anyone who is looking for who to complete them. They rather want to be with people who are fun and excited. Don't try to be too funny if you are not. You will only end up embarrassed and sad. Don't try wearing clothes you have never worn before to please anyone, especially if they make you uncomfortable. Anyone who is to be with you has to deal with you the way you are. Be yourself. Drink your coffee black if you like it that way. The one you want will come around. 14. Be dependable You need to be completely dependable. When they are in pain, be there for them. Be the first available shoulder to lean on and you will always be in your heart. If you are assigned on a task with a work colleague you are crushing on, it is an opportunity to show him or her how dependable you are. You can do this by turning in your work early and doing quality work. Remember that this hard work will not count only towards getting them to like you but also towards possible promotion. Put in your best all the time. You will be fine.
