How can I be more friendlier, approachable and likeable?

I've found that just smiling makes a big difference in the "Approachable/Unapproachable" category. Sometimes our "resting" faces look serious, so make an effort to keep a smile on and just take the initiative to introduce yourself- but don't be a buttinsky. :)
Intruding on privacy, to me, would be asking extremely personal questions. But it's perfectly fine to ask general questions- that way you get a feel for the person and then take it form there....Show more

It is natural enough to have to warm to people, I find that someone who comes "gushing" to you usually are only prepared to be with you for a few minutes.
If anyone bounces into company it is easy to assume that are known to all the company, so the conclusion I draw is, don't try to get in conversation with them, they will be circulating, they may get round to you later, but in passing.
"Insinuate" yourself into the party, if you have been invited it seems only proper to first find the person who invited you, and thank them for the invitation, usually they are talking to someone who arrived before me, and it is only manners to allow them to realize you are there, although not butt into their conversation, if the person with the host is "hogging" the limelight, and seems to ignore you although they are aware of the fact that you are there and are waiting to speak to the them, I find it prudent to treat them the same way, excuse yourself for butting in, but you just wished to say thanks for the invitation to the host or hostess, and go in search of someone better mannered. Sometimes, when you look round as though you are looking for someone you know, you may be asked if you are looking for someone, if the person who asks looks friendly I would probably come out of my shell a little and say something like, "Not any longer, if you can spare the time to introduce round," it may be that they aren't interested in introducing you to the company, which is all the better, if you feel easy in theirs, and the ice is effectively broken, at least for the present....Show more

if someone smiles at you, smile back. It makes you friendlier, approachable and likeable. Dont you know that a smile can melt the heart of guys esp. if you have that killer smile.......Show more
