You can almost sense it …

And it’s hard to walk away. 

Because that warm, comfortable feeling inside is telling you the person you’re with is someone you’d like to get to know a little better.

Whether an informal meeting or planned event, there are a few recognizable signs you’re in the presence of a “people person.”

So how can we tell for sure? Because a few of us may have some doubts, even when we meet folks who appear to be open and approachable. Our cautious radar holds us back with subtle signals, warning us there might be an underlying agenda, or even incongruent intent.

Those uncomfortable vibes are often hard to ignore, especially when they resurrect an experience from the past, when a likeable façade was stripped away and we discovered a different animal behind the friendly disposition.

Personally, there are a few attributes I’ve come to trust in when I find myself drawn to another person.
