It would be great if we could make buddies in just a little, win over a person in 30 minutes or create an impact in just a few minutes. There are very few people that you like instantly and decide that you want to be friends with them. If you want to make a good first impression and want to be admired immediately, then follow these steps.

Try to be yourself when you meet someone new. If you want to create an impact, you need to be at ease. It is very obvious when someone is trying hard to impress and it’s a big turn off. Also you should be a good listener. Try to pay attention when the other person is talking. If you are only physically present and wandering off somewhere else mentally, the other person gets irritated. Be interested in what the other person is saying so that you can make a good conversation. Also try to remember what the other person’s name is and what he does.

If you go on blabbering about yourself, it will get pretty boring. Make interesting conversation: discuss the latest politics or trends or observe what the other person is interested in and talk about those subjects. Give the other person a chance to talk too. If you keep talking, it will get annoying after a while. Light hearted subjects are the best way to make conversation and also add some humour.

Smile is your best dress. Have a smile on your face; it makes a person seem approachable and pleasant looking. It shows friendliness and warmth. It also helps in reducing awkwardness between two people meeting for the first time. The meeting should have some highlights so that it gets memorable. Make some good jokes and try to find relatable subjects.

You should not appear very desperate. It will make the other person step back. You should not rush into making friends as it takes some time. Friendships develop naturally. Give the other person a chance to follow up after the first meeting.

Lastly your physical appearance matters. If you are neatly dressed, wearing well matched clothes and shoes; the other person will get attracted. When the other person doesn’t know you, your appearance does create an impression. So you should wear decent and reasonable clothes.
