The Flooding Smile
In 1936, one of Dale Carnegie's six musts in HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE was SMILE!
Don't flash an immediate smile when you greet someone, as though anyone who walked into your line of sight would be the beneficiary. Instead, look at the person's face for a second. Pause. Soak in their persona. Then let a big, warm, responsive smile flood over your face and overflow into eyes. It will engulf the recipient like a warm wave. The split-second delay convinces people your flooding smile is genuine and only for them. ☺️

Sticky Eyes
Your eyes are personal granades that have the power to detonate people's emotion.
Pretend your eyes are glued to your Conversation Partner's with sticky warm toffee. Don't break eye contact even after he or she has finished speaking. When you must look away, do it ever so slowly, reluctantly, stretching the gooey toffee untill the tiny string finally breaks.

Epoxy Eyes
This brazen technique packs a powerful punch. Watch your target person even when someone is talking. No matter who is speaking, keep looking at the man or woman you want to impact.
Sometimes using Epoxy Eyes is too potent, so here is a gentler, yet effective, form: Watch the speaker but let your glance bounce to target each time the speaker finishes a point. This way Mr or Ms Target still feels you are intrigued by his or her reactions, yet there is relief from the intensity.
