Gauging your reaction is always a measure of people skills. The more games you do, the better you get at it. Most of my posts hint at gauging my reaction and I've been at this awhile.

Don't be a Smitty. Treat people how you would want to be treated given the circumstance.

Calling a game provides a clear avenue to demonstrate your people skills. I'd be willing to wager a coffee at starbucks that if you're normally friendly, get along with most types of peeps, and are intuitive, most people will like you.

Focus on your people skills as well as your rules knowledge.
