Appearances can be deceiving. Based on shallow judgment alone, you may miss out on an opportunity of getting to know some extraordinary people. Maybe they would have been a close friend or family member who would have introduced you to your future significant other. Only if you would have had made the decision to be a bit more open. The world is smaller than you think. With your ever increasing social network, you'd be amazed how all of us are connected. Just take a look at some of the mutual friends you find on one of your friend's Facebook. And if you don't have any mutual connections, it's more of a reason to get to know each other better.
A very small percent of what's initially apparent represents who they are, the remainder is unknown. As you proceed forward with conversations, try to delve deeper into what makes them unique. You'll find that most questions are left brief or unanswered. "What's new?" is almost always followed by "nothing." It's natural. Ask them to clarify any unmentioned details. Share with them your perspective, and then they will naturally share to you theirs. Show genuine interest in them. Charm is not about revealing your best self. But it's about bringing out the best of everyone around you. You'll find commonalities one way or another. We're all human aren't we?
