No magic formula here. This is completely dependent on the game situation and your relationship with the player outside of the particular game. Work toward improving relationships, whatever they are. Learn about your opponent putside of Dip. Even if the game situation is such that you need to eliminate a player, you will still have something to talk about. You can compliment them on their tenacious defense against you.
Play every game of Diplomacy as if it will be the last game of Diplomacy you will ever play.
