Also, a bit of perspective with something that helps me. You have to be constantly aware of your behaviour and how you're being percieved by others. A few things make this possible.
First is emotional stability. I find the best way to achieve this is by working towards goals and knowing what you want in life and doing something to achieve it. Once you've done this, give yourself adiquette time (usually after working towards your goals for a clearer state of mind) to reflect on your emotions.
Second is your ability to concentrate. Erratic thought processes will stop you from being self aware. Meditation is the best say to achieve this smill but its not for everyone. For me, reading is a good tool because my brain is focusing completely on something over a long period of time. I'm sure there are other ways to improve concentration but these are the two I know/use.
Finally, just don't say too much. Pretty simple. Don't say something because you feel the social situation requires you too. Every word that comes from your mouth should serve a purpose.
Being aware of yourself works with all people. Be it in a meeting at work, with friends and family or potential/current lovers. As an example, my sister is very attracted to alpha males, but she likes men who lead, who have their **** together and who she can respect. I notice when I am self aware, she gets really close to me and gives me way more attention than the other men in my family even though they dominate conversation a lot more. Because I might not talk as much but what I say carries weight and value. Obviously there are other reasons that myself being self aware makes her respect me more but I feel this is an important one and is easy for others to apply.
