And be aware that some AIs will probably hate you regardless, while others may warm to you over time IF you don't irritate them (including, say, constantly sending them treaty requests). Read the race descriptions; the ones that tend to be xenophobes have this implied, IIRC (e.g., I don't recall any sweet-talking, described-as-friendly, but really murderous xenophobic teddy bear races).
