Q: Encourage others to talk about themselves. Shine the spotlight on them. Give them your full attention and appreciation by focusing only on them. When we let people talk about themselves, it triggers pleasure responses in their brain. Put your stuff away. Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything else, even for a moment. Ask them about positive things in their life. When they reply, ask them how they are feeling about life in general. Since you’ve already gotten a positive answer to the first question, you are more likely to get a positive answer to the second one, leading to a positive overall experience with you. Become memorable and attractive through the way you let them express themselves to you. The words you use can have a huge impact on how you come across to others. Avoid being negative as much as possible. Prioritize positive words over negative ones. We all associate happy, enthusiastic, and fulfilled people with attractiveness. Say things like:  "I believe in you." These four short words can have a huge impact on how people feel both about themselves and about you. "How can I help?" Offering assistance doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to help some, but often we cannot accomplish things alone. Saying this will show someone you are an ally. "Here's what's happening." No one wants to be left out. If you make an effort to include everyone, they will associate a positive connection with you. Share the information you have to become more likable. You can also use this phrase to demonstrate decisiveness in a positive way. "I'll find out." "You're welcome." Somewhere down the road we stopped saying, "You're welcome" and started saying "yep," and "no problem." Saying the former establishes that you have done a worthwhile favor, whereas the latter shows that what you have done was insignificant. Use the former to show a person how much you care. Laugh easily. Playfulness, as a personality trait can bring a bunch of positivity to your life and the lives of others. Not only can playfulness help reduce stress levels, but it will also help you appear more confident and comfortable.  Take care to tease lightly and play close attention to the other people around you. No matter what your intentions, playfulness isn't attractive if you end up hurting someone's feelings. There is a time and place for playfulness. If you are in a professional environment, where playfulness is generally not encouraged, save it for when you leave work. However, you can still exercise kindness and warmth. Slowing down your speech can actually make you more interesting to others. This gives them a chance to digest what you are saying. Speaking slower also demonstrates confidences and a relaxed state, while speaking quickly might make you look overly excited, eager, or nervous.  Especially if you are nervous, practice speaking slow. This will help you remain calm, and maintain control. You are also less likely to stumble over your words if you speak slowly.
A: Listen first. Respond with questions. Select your words carefully. Be playful. Speak slower.

Article: 1 balloon Duct tape Cake plate A medium-small box (size of a cake) Icing (make sure it’s thick and opaque) Sprinkles Friend who likes cake Real cake to say you’re sorry (optional) You can use any type of box for this, but something the size of a medium-small cake (roughly 9 inches by 9 inches) would be perfect. You’ll also want to make sure that the sides are high enough to hold in an inflated balloon. A huge sheet-cake-sized box could also work but isn’t ideal, as it would just require more balloons and more icing. Inflate a balloon large enough that it fills the box as much as possible without distorting the sides of the box. Once the balloon is in the box, use some duct tape to secure it there — 1 strip of tape vertically and 1 horizontally should be fine, but you can use more if you think you need to.  You can also use painting tape or electrical tape if you don’t have duct tape. Just don’t use Scotch tape, as this will be too thin and not sticky enough to properly hold in the balloon. You want to use enough tape that the balloon sits firmly in the box and doesn’t move around when you touch it. You’ll want to do this before you begin icing the “cake” so that you don’t make a mess on your counter — also, it will be easier to transport once it’s iced. Use a spatula to cover the balloon and box with icing. You want to cover the entire thing so that it looks like a cake. Make sure the icing is thick and opaque — you don’t wan it to be runny or see-through, or it’ll be easier to tell what’s underneath it. Do whatever else you want to do to make the cake look extra tasty and alluring. You might even write your friend’s name on it with icing. Your friend will probably be pretty excited to get a cake. If it’s not their birthday, you’ll need to find some other convincing reason for offering them cake. For example, if you’re having a movie night, you could say that you were bored at home and felt like making some cake. If you do this, you can’t push them to eat it otherwise they might know something’s up. You’ll have to wait for them to want the cake and cut it. If your friend is excited about the cake, he/she will probably want it right away. Make sure he/she’s the one to cut it, but don’t act too obvious about wanting them too. You can just hand them the knife and say you’ll get plates. If your friend doesn’t seem to want the cake, you can ask them to cut you a slice, but this might be more obvious. If they go into the kitchen to get themselves a drink, you could say, “Hey do you mind cutting me a piece of that cake?” and then act like you’re busy on your phone. When your friend cuts the cake, he/she’ll likely scream when it pops loudly. This is when you laugh, and hopefully he/she will laugh too. Getting a balloon cake isn’t as funny as giving one. If you give someone a balloon cake, make it up to them by giving them a real one afterwards. At the very least, give them a cupcake!
