6 ways to make people like you

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in people

if you want people to like you you can't be thinking about yourself all the time. you have to care about others or they'll think you're super selfish all the time. Becoming interested in other people also means caring about them. Ask other people how their day went or their interests. "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you." this is a great quote because it tells you that you can't make friends being super narcissistic and only caring about yourself. You will make more friends being genuinely interested in others because that's what being social is about. 

Rule 2: Smile
1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says,"I like you, you make me happy. I'm glad to see you"
2) "You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."
3) It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friends."
Smiling is a huge gesture of friendliness. It will instantly help you make friends. If you're talking to someone with a frown the whole time they're gonna think you're uninterested. Nobody's gonna wanna talk to someone who never smiles, cause they don't look friendly at all. It doesn't take much just to smile at people, even if you don't feel like smiling. Even if you don't want to make friends, smiling still makes a good impression. If you smile you'll look more friendly and people are going to want to talk to you. Smiling will inevitably make you more friends.

Rule 3: Remember Names
1) "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble." 
Remembering names is a basic but important way to make friends. If you don't remember names people aren't gonna think they're important to you and they're not going to want to talk to you. Remembering a persons name makes a person know you're interested in them when making conversation. If you're halfway through talking with them and they notice you haven't said their name at all, they're gonna think you're not paying attention or that you just don't care.  

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage people to talk about themselves. 
1)"If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener." 
2)"Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is to you and your problems"
If you want friends, you have to be a very good conversationalist. you have to talk to people and keep the conversation going. Make sure to ask them questions about themselves. You also have to be a great listener. Listen to what people have to say and ask them more questions. If all you talk about is yourself when trying to make friends, then they're gonna think you're not interested in them at all. they won't want to talk to you anymore. If you cant keep a good conversation going people are gonna think you're lame. Being a good conversationalist is all it takes to socialize. 

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest
"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasure's most."
When getting to know someone, ask them about what they're interested in. Ask them about their hobbies, the kind of music they love, what they like to watch, their favorite dog breed, etc. If you only start talking about your interests without them asking they're not gonna care. Talk to people about the things they love most to get to know them better. Since people love to talk about themselves they'd be happy to talk about their interests.

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important --and do it sincerely
"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature"(John Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic"
Making people feel like they matter is very important in a friendship. the more important they feel the more they're going to talk to you. If they don't feel important they're not going to want to talk to you at all because they wouldn't see a point in the conversation. Make the conversation about them when first talking to someone because they'll notice you actually do want to talk to them. Don't act when making someone feel important because they'll notice that you don't really mean it and you don't want to talk to them. Talk to someone and make them feel important; that's a great way to make friends easily.
