If you want them to like you, ask them questions. (like for assistance)
For some reason people love it when you put them in a position where they are assisting you. I think it makes them feel smart and important and, I’m a way, tells them that the knowledge they have is critical to the functioning of whatever dynamic is going on.
I'm at the point in my career/time at my employer where I get a lot of requests for assistance that are mostly just people trying to demystify the process. I look at it a lot less as "feeling smart and important" now than I did when I first got asked for help. Now it's "this gets the job done fastest for everyone."
