An interesting thought about building relationships

Reading today I came across this...

"When I am talking to somebody there are always two conversations going on. The first is on the surface; it is about politics or music or whatever it is our mouths are saying. The other is beneath the surface, on the level of the heart, and my heart is either communicating that I like the person I am talking to or I don't.... Here is something very simple about relationships...: Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them." --Donald Miller, from Blue Like Jazz

I find this to be a very true thing in life.
