#3 – Keep Asking Questions without Talking about Yourself at All

Although self-disclosure predicts closeness, it has to be mutual. People will generally like you less if you don’t reciprocate when they reveal something personal.
According to the authors of the study, socially anxious or shy people might keep asking questions of the other to draw away attention from themselves.
The conducted research showed that this is not an effective strategy for relationship initiation. Both parts need to disclose in order to promote mutual closeness and liking.

#4 – Posting a Close-up Profile Photo

If your Facebook profile photo is basically an image of your face smashed up against the camera, it would be wise to change it right now. According to researchers at California Institute of Technology, faces 45 centimeters (almost 1.5 ft) away from the camera are regarded as less attractive, trustworthy, and competent than faces photographed from about 4.5 ft away.

#5 – Hiding Your Emotions

Reflecting your real feelings is a better strategy for making other people like you than locking it all up inside, research suggests. In a recent study from the University of Oregon, students watched two movie scenes: a fake-orgasm scene and a sad scene.
Researchers then measured how much interest the participants expressed in befriending the actors in the videos, as well as their assessments of the displayed personalities. Results concluded that actors who suppressed their emotions were judged less likable than those who seemed to react naturally.
So when someone feels that the other person is hiding their real emotions, they may interpret that as a clear disinterest in friendship, which includes interpersonal coordination, social support, and closeness.

It may make sense that the nicer you seem, the more people will like you. But some scientific studies showed otherwise.
