When I'm heads up I like to push all in preflop every single hand that I play.

Just tweaking what allLiving had to say, I do also like to start a head's up match VERY aggressively (e.g, a quick raise or all-in with any ace or King) to see if I can push the guy around. However, I especially do so if I'm big stack or small stack, as opposed to even with him.
If I'm a big stack, and he calls and wins, it doesn't hurt. If I'm small, I probably need to double up anyways to catch-up, so if I lose, who cares. But if I'm even, I might try a couple 1x or 2x BB raises to see what he'll do.
After 5-7 HU hands (combined with your previous knowledge of this player) you should have some idea of how he plays.
Another good strategy, is to be friendly about showing cards. I often can get someone to start showing cards when I fold, which only helps me understand them.
