Too much family gossip will make the other person feel that you're emotionally dependent, and once you encounter dissatisfaction, you'll vent to them! Under this negative psychological guard, few people are willing to deeply interact with you. On the contrary, if you only briefly touch upon your personal situation during the first meeting and just give a rough outline, it can leave the other person with a sense of mystery, making them look forward to seeing you again!

10. Trust your first impression and amplify your sixth sense.

If the person you meet is vastly different from your experiences and has an entirely opposite way of thinking, making it hard for you to find common topics, then appropriately repeat their viewpoints to show that you share the same stance. This way, the other person will develop a sense of self-satisfaction and increase their goodwill towards you!

2. Always leave speaking time for the other person and fully respect their right to speak.

Don't keep probing for understanding by asking too many questions, especially avoid being overly curious about issues like breakups, separations, or unemployment. Even if you are genuinely curious, please wait until you become more familiar with each other before asking.

7. Avoid bringing up heavy topics at all costs.

9. Courageously make your own distinctive actions.

8. Please smile brightly and keep smiling.

Unintentional gestures and verbal tics during conversations can reveal your inner feelings. If the other person is somewhat knowledgeable about psychology, your nervousness might be instantly detected, leading to a loss of advantages and initiative.

When your first impression tells you that the person in front of you is worth continuing to interact with, you should appropriately amplify your sixth sense. When both your first impression and sixth sense come into play, you should know what to do next.

5. Minimize hand gestures and verbal tics while speaking.

Just like Julie and Pitt, men can always appear rugged, and women can always appear bright. In fact, you can also have your own distinctive actions, but don't overdo it. If you really can't find a good signature action, then perhaps give the other person a memorable back view.

The triangle formed by the other person's brow center as the apex and the two cheekbones as the base is referred to by psychologists as the "focal attention zone." When speaking to the other person, if your gaze stays within this "triangle," it will give the impression that they are being intensely focused on and that they have become the center of attention, increasing their goodwill towards you! Conversely, if you stare directly into the other person's eyes, it may cause them to feel hostile from the start.

4. Quickly find common ground with the other person.

A true smile isn't as simple as lifting the corners of your mouth; it involves controlled muscle movements. Research has found that toothy smiles have nearly 30% more contagious effects than closed-mouth smiles. Don't worry about crooked teeth; 70% of Asian men say they prefer women who often smile and have little tiger teeth! Women, on the other hand, love to see the sunny side of men.

6. Lower your strengths and value the other person's specialties.

Psychological studies have discovered that 27% of unsuccessful blind dates stem from one person talking too much while the other remains silent, creating an awkward situation! In life, people with completely opposite personalities can still become couples, best friends, or close confidants. However, for a first meeting, since neither party is familiar with each other, everything starts from zero, so fairness should be followed. It's recommended that you try to leave speaking time for the other person, making them feel your thoughtfulness and equality.

Don't just boast endlessly about your strengths, as this can make the other person feel pressured. Instead, ask more questions about their interests and specialties, which can spark new topics and a desire for further exchanges.
