Laughter is the best way to break the ice and get someone to open up to you, according to researchers in London who say sharing a giggle makes people more willing to share more, even if they aren't aware they're doing so.

Opening up to someone verbally is a sure sign they've become comfortable with you and a critical building block in forming a new friendship.
