Overview
If you are trying to get a new relationship started -- business, friendship, or romantic -- you might be making things much too hard on yourself. Relax and just be yourself. This is basic advice, but it holds true always. Tension is contagious, so the more nervous you are, the more the other person will hold back. Conversely, if you are always smiling and ready to start a conversation, then they will be too. It will all make sense once you put this philosophy in to action.
