learn things to talk about: Watch others; read; increase your activities and experiences.
expre SS likin G (Selec Tively).
We often like the people we think like us.
Express genuine liking for the other person. But don’t try to suck up to the other person or 
grovel. Find things to compliment that are not super-  obvious. Don’t praise too much too often, 
and never use compliments to obtain favors.
