How to Make Someone Feel Like an Old Friend at Once
Technique (Hello Old Friend):

When meeting someone, imagine he or she is an old friend (and old customer, and old beloved, or someone else you had great affection for). How sad, the vicissitudes of life tore you two asunder. But, holy mackerel, now the party (the meeting, the convention) has reunited you with your long-lost old friend! The joyful experience starts a remarkable chain reaction in your body from the subconscious softening of your eyebrows to the positioning of your toes - and everything between.
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care...about them.
Whenever you're traveling in countries where you don't speak the native tongue, be sure to use the "hello old friend" technique.
When you act as though you like someone, you start to really like them.
