Basically - you don't ! Reptiles lack the intelligence to form affection with either members of their own species - or humans ! It simply tolerates you because its basic instinct tells it you're not going to harm it !
this may be different in specific cases, but in my experience when the dragon is feeling sociable, he will climb up the side of the tank and wait for me to notice him (i have a mesh tank). if you have a glass tank, you will see him scratching at the sides.
However, if your dragon is fairly new to the home and the environment, you may have to instigate the handling. my beardie is now almost a year old and he has only started asking to get out in the past month. the most important things are to watch his behavior, and try picking him up as he does things that are a bit different then his usual. every animal has their own personality, and will react to situations slightly differently.
If they don't hiss at you and if they lick your hand and don't back away; also they'll calm down quickly when you hold them.
Look at it
you can tell if your bearded dragon is limping or his tail is croocked at a weird angle. if you do find those symptoms take you bearded dragon to the nearest vet with a expert on reptiles for this deasease can be fatal if not treated and cared for.
Finding out the gender of a bearded dragon is simple to do. All you have to do is lift up the tail if there is a slit then it is a boy.
isnt it obvease they're scared or they are protecting itself.

I can't tell you everything that can be housed with a bearded dragon, but in the local pet store the owner does a boarding service, the other week I saw a tortoise and a bearded dragon in the same cage from the same owner, they live together in a vivarium and get on well.

If the neck of a bearded dragon's neck puffs up, it's mad or scared and the neck might also get black:)
Definitely a bearded Dragon, they are much more a tame and active in the day. A beardie will cost you more but i can tell you they are amazing pets. :) P.S I have 2 crested Geckos and 5 Bearded Dragons
