Want someone you just met to like you?

Ask them to do you a favor - a small one.

Psychologically, they'll want to justify why they did it, so they'll convince themselves they like you more than the average joe. When really they have no true reason besides that you asked them.

I can't remember where I heard about it - tbh I thought it had probably been Dale Carnegie, although I think the article you linked would have mentioned it if it was included in his book. So thanks!
