Facial expresions, eye contact, and body language!
Evan when I get the rest right, my "nonverbal communication" seems to wreck it all.

how to move from acquaintence-->friend. It seems I always end up having people who enjoy my company if the circumstances exist for us to be at the same place at the same time but never liking me enough to want to contact me outside of that obligation we share.

how to interact with others who I don't know well in a more friendly way. What I mean is people see me as a book of facts, not someone nice to talk to about ordinary stuff. I'm guessing this is a small tallk problem. I know the topics small talk consists of, but I can never get the conversation to go beyond a few lines.

A: how was your weekeend?
Me: fine, yours?
A: fine too.
..and then nothing but a horrible silence.
