How to charm a stranger
Charm, Don't Manipulate
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it's important to note the differences between charm and straight up manipulation. You're not trying to trick someone into liking you, you're just portraying yourself in the best light possible so others can relate and appreciate you.
When it comes down to it, manipulation involves finding people's psychological points of weakness and exploiting them. Manipulation can involve ly-ing, misdirection, and whatever else it might take to get your way. It can be effective, but it's gen-erally looked at extremely negatively and isn't very good for building relationships with others (especially if you get caught in the act).
Charm is something everyone can use to get their foot in the door of new relationships. You're not deceiving others to make yourself look good, but highlighting your strengths and using the tools of social interaction at maximum effectiveness. Charm can be used to get you started on the right foot at a new job, get to know someone you don't know, and maybe even get you a date.
