How to make a great first impression: Find common ground

While you are not going to hit it off with everyone you meet in life, it can help to look for the common ground when meeting someone new. Whether it is a common interest, a similar sense of humor or a mutual acquaintance, finding something you have in common can help you to connect with those around you and keep the conversation flowing more easily. However, while it is important to show interest for other people’s passions and hobbies, try not to feign common interests to bond with others as you are likely to be found out.
