When people want to build a connection they show interest in another person's thoughts or actions and are very cheerful. They listen intently and are genuinely interested in what you are saying.

Because we live in such a multicultural society sometimes we find it difficult to start a conversation when talking to not only a stranger but someone from a different ethnic background. More times than often we try to start a conversation with a generic subject, a subject about something that is going on in the media, or something we feel the other person may be interested in. Sometimes we try to start a conversation on a bias opinion such as: I engage in a conversation with someone who has what I think is a British accent so I ask them about the crisis in England only to find out that they are from Australia and have never been to England. I think most people try to talk relaxed, calmly, and a little reserved when starting a conversation. They try to listen with eye contact so they can engage in the conversation. Within the American society giving eye contact when engaging in a conversation has been taught that’s it’s a sign of respect.

When wanting to build a connection, you first have to feel somewhat comfortable with the people around you. You then try to relate to the topic in any way and share what you are thinking without being rude. While listening to the other person or people speak you listen politely; you do not interrupt. You also will show interest in the topic and/or person.

When you want to build a connection you will start by caring about their expressions and thoughts and listen to the other person and show genuine interest in them.

When people want to make connections they act in a respectful and honest manner demonstrating that they genuinely care about the listener and the conversation. Furthermore, they engage in positive communication and listen actively to whom they are connecting with. When communicating and connecting with people from different cultures it is important to be mindful regarding verbal and nonverbal communication cues. For example, while the exchange of eye contact establishes trust in many different cultures, such as in American culture. In Asian cultures, eye contact can be interpreted as a sign of disrespect. Therefore, it is necessary to be mindful regarding cultures in order to connect with an individual successfully.

When people want to make a connection they ask questions to get to know you and they show interest in everything you say.

When people want to make connections they show interest in ones life by asking questions and listening to one another about their lives even if they are different form what we believe to be "normal". Also eye contact and body language is very important.

When we want to make connections with others we smile, act friendly, make eye contact and or even touch (shake hands and the like), if culturally appropriate. We are generally more engaging than normal, usually listen more intently and talk more excitedly to people with whom we want to connect. Some cultures are quicker or slower to get to know the individuals of and looking up best practices for getting to know people from different regions has been very helpful.
