Ask questions about how they spend their time. Be curious. Find interesting lanes in a boring topic. Pay compliments. Figure out what they're better at than you, and ask questions about that. Ask if they know any interesting people. Take a job in a dive bar and you'll be really good at this in about a month. Edit: learn and use their name.
