Some guys struggle with socializing in new environments while some struggle with office situations. But many more struggle with social engagement. There is an awkwardness and some degree of anxiety that makes them behave as if almost invisible and unnoticed. They opt to to play it safe rather than have to engage. Fret not, we have you covered – here are 4 ways you can level up your attractiveness to catch the eye of that special someone.
Become Curious
Be actively interested in learning about those you engage with. This particular skill will give you a great advantage over most people who prefer to talk in order to seem interesting. When meeting new people try to learn about them not like a police interrogation, but like an Oprah interview. Ask questions, be interested in learning from the answers, and ask follow-up questions. Commit key points to what you learn to remember.
Smile
Having a pleasant disposition automatically makes people want to engage with you. Smiling is one of the key ways to display this. Not in a creepy clown way, but keeping a pleasant thought in mind will help your expressions be open and friendly and thus make you more engaging.
Compliment
Even the most confident of us enjoy receiving validation. It gives a great dopamine rush and a general good feeling about ourselves. Being good at giving genuine compliments will automatically make them appreciate you more. Compliments don’t have to be about appearance, but a person’s attitude, work ethic or general disposition.
