In case you opt for asking questions, then always ask the ones which do not have one-word replies. Make the other person discuss his/her background and other information with you. Moreover, keep your ears open so that you listen to everything anyone has to say. A good listener is always a good socialist.

A good sense of humour is considered to be the key to being loved by others. Everyone will simply love being around you if you are the reason why they have a smile on their faces. It’s hard to insult yourself in front of others, but that is something which will always make the other people smile. You can also talk about incidents which have been happening in your life and bring a smile to your face. Make sure that your jokes are clean unless you know the other person since a long time. You never know when the others start judging you, so be careful.

Always respect the other person’s personal space whenever you approach him/her. This is necessary. If you believe that the other person needs some time alone, always give it to him/her. There are times when people simply don’t want to interact and you wouldn’t want to talk to them during those times.
