Haha it might have helped to give some more guidance up there, huh?
It's quite hard to pin down as we're all well aware already of how complicated he is when it comes to 'getting passed first base' in terms of acquaintances becoming friendships. Sephiroth has a hard shell of a sort that he curls himself deeper into when he gets hurt from being more 'out there' - if that makes any sense.
That said, there are people....like Jade, Sheena and Lydia (though there are others) that have managed to get in there without him ever acknowledging that they are friends. This is the key in some respects I think. When a relationship get to be acknowledged as a friendship, Sephiroth's opinion of them shakes a bit? He's been burned by friendship and might therefore up the caution around that person a little.
For Yuna, I think having had him come to her World as a kind-of guardian has been a good first-step, actually. Sephiroth feels best comfortable when he's in his element after all and protecting innocent people was as much a part of SOLDIER as was fighting ShinRa's wars for them.
In essence, tips are play to his strengths for a bit, make him feel like he's not only being useful but is doing a great job. That he is really that big-damn Hero he often gets played up as. The soul-searching questions must come later.
