Otetiani sometimes it is important to remember the basics when dealing with people-
1. Stand up straigth and tall, don't slump.
2. Look them in the eye.
3. Smile .
4. When starting a conversation expect the person you are talking to to like you (after all you are a nice guy with many likeable qualities) , this puts you at ease and that puts the other person at ease.
5. Ask plenty of questions about the other person, this will usually get a conversation going and demonstrate that you are genuinly interested in them.
6. If you have trouble with the smiling part spend ten minutes a day smiling at yourself in a mirror- I'm not kidding you will be smiling the rest of the day.
Some of this may sound simple or even silly but take it from a person who normally has a stern look without even meaning to- it works
Pro 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Make these things a habit, show yourself friendly , relax and enjoy
By the way- I like you my friend!
