As you know, they are greeted by their clothes. The first impression, which is the most persistent, is formed in the first minutes or even seconds of communication with a stranger. 80% of this impression is based precisely on appearance and non-verbal behavior. For this reason, the appearance at any special event often plays a more significant role than subsequent communication.
Emergence
In order to attract interest when you first appear, you should pay attention to the following points:
- Gait. One should walk with dignity, but without a hint of arrogance. The back should be flat, the shoulders should be straightened, and the smile should be disarming.
- Clothing. The appearance should be eye-catching, but not too provocative or vulgar.
- Location. People very often cast glances at the front door, which means that you should not immediately try to blend in with the crowd. You should take a short pause at the entrance and inspect those around you.
- Communication. At first, it is better to refuse the comfortable company of friends, a bar or a table with food. You should go around the room and, if possible, introduce yourself to strangers. Simplicity and friendliness are ideal companions for new acquaintances.
Communication
An important point in making up a first impression is a conversation with a new acquaintance. To consolidate success, you need to be able to present yourself correctly. Here are some tricks to use:
- Eye contact is very important, so look your interlocutor in the eyes: half of the talking time will be enough. If this time is less, there is a risk to seem indifferent, if more - too annoying and intrusive.
- A smile is always a safe bet. It should be backed up with a warm, sincere look.
- Don't be too frank or share too personal information. This behavior will only cause negative emotions in response.
- It is important not only to talk about yourself, but also to ask questions. This is a great way to start or maintain a conversation. The main thing is not to ask too personal and inappropriate questions that can cause embarrassment.
Probably, every girl, when she first appears in the company of strangers, feels a little squeezed and uncomfortable. In such situations, it is best to just be yourself and not try to adjust to those around you. And sincere interest, a warm smile and compliments about any positive qualities of the interlocutor will become additional helpers.
