Tilt the Head

This is something connected to the instinctive side of the human being, stretching back to their ancestors in the animal kingdom. When a person tilts their head, they expose their carotid, which shows that they do not pose a threat nor are they afraid of the person with whom they are talking to. It is a sign of trust which also displays interest - everyone has seen a dog doing it and they all must agree that there is nothing cuter than a puppy tilting their head. Nothing must be said in this context, just a slight tilt will do in order to make a person feel comfortable in one's presence.

Ask for a Favor

People enjoy doing favors for others, it makes them feel useful. Although some people may doubt it, it is a scientific fact. When a person is asked for a favor, they are given the opportunity to feel good about themselves, which they associate with the interaction they had with the person who made the request. They feel trusted, useful, and set apart from others. It is important to note that these should be small favors or at least match the kind of relationship two people have. If a favor is a bit too big, it comes across as an inconvenient request and can be perceived as plainly disrespectful.
