This is one of those rhetorical questions that's timeless. Everyone wants people to like them, but everyone is not going to like everybody. This is a fact, and has been proven time and time again. It would be nice though, if everyone liked everyone, and could get along with them. The world would be a better and safer place, for all of us to live in. Life is life though, and reality sets in that it can be harsh in many ways. So getting people to like you, is easier said than done. But there are ways that people can be influenced, and begin to like you after they get to know you.

First off, you need to just be yourself, people have a sense and can already tell when someone is faking and putting up a front with them. It just throws any credibility and respect that you are trying to gain from the person out the window. Remember, first impressions are everything, so do your best to impress and present yourself in a good manner when meeting and trying to get someone to like you.

Secondly, be upfront and real with the person that you are trying to get to like you. There's nothing like trustworthiness and honesty to start off on the right foot with someone. It also sets the whole relationship, having these two key things in any relationship keeps a relationship strong and really shows what the person is made of. You should also grasp the person's attention who you are trying to get them to like you. Do this as much as you can, this will signify that you like the person and they will pick up on it, and then they will know that you are interested in them liking you and you getting to know them. Having satisfying conversations that you both can relate also helps smooth things out. If you can really relate to the person that you are trying to get to like you, thats a plus. When you get to know each other and begin to build a bond, the more you talk and relate to each other, the more of bond you will have with each other. The closer the bond that you have with someone, the better the relationship will be for the both of you.

Another way to get people to like you, is to have a positive attitude. No one likes or cares for someone with a negative and nasty attitude. For the most part, people don't want to even be associated with these kinds of people, in fear it could put a stain on their reputation. A positive attitude goes along way and can attract people to you like a magnet. It's the warmth and embracing feeling that they get when a person attitude is positive. From this
