a stratergy to make friends

Friends are the basic element for some who want to be successful in managing their lives. Is there any point to make it easy to get a nice relationship formed between two strangers in their first conversation? According to "from the first four minutes" by Leonard Zunin, "a relationship can only develop if both parties are interested in pursuing it", which means, presenting undivided attention for the first four minutes can help a lot form a good start and will somehow determine the direction the relationship towards. Some of my experience when facing strangers can be a good example.
You can not be respected unless you respect others. This is even more important in first meetings with strangers because what you do will influence deeply the imagine of you in others' mind. I notice this strategy and apply it successfully and eventually I get plenty of friends. However, the interesting thing is that I have some friends who do not like some of my other friends at all. I respect what others' personalities and opinions and pay my total interest when talking with others, especially in the first four minutes with someone I first meet. Perhaps that is the reason why I get good imagine of myself in others' mind.
All in all, the first few minutes when contacting with others is so important that usually the rest relationship will be determined by it. Paying attention for first four minutes will help a lot in forming a good imagine of you and get a lot of friends.
