You could just go to Schenzen--my understanding is she can get a visa on arrival there (limited to Schenzen only) witohut having to get one in advance. Because you're 16 too they won't be worried that you're trying to abduct her or anything. My guess (I've never been in this situation so I'm...

Crap people, I'm really sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I'd imagine this thread is on like page 300 by now. Somewhere back in mid-October, still trying to struggle my way through the hi's, a long-awaited thing that I think was at least intended to be a date with a girl I knew...

RBB: Very happy for you--and definitely try the ballroom dancing out. I took some lessons back in high school so I could get more comfortable, err, "handling a woman" for lack of a better way to put it. It's one of those places where it's really easy to meet women because it's so normal to just...

Field report for the day Went to the local mall, walked round and round for about an hour trying to make eye contact with people. Somehow it just wasn't working--I'd stare them down but they didn't even notice because their eyes were somewhere else; people have been trained by society not to...

I'm a business student--here public speaking is a mandatory part of our curriculum. While I may not be smooth and suave when I speak in front of a group, I can do it with confidence and get my point across. Why that confidence never translates to one-on-one conversations with girls I don't know...

RRB, there's always been that divide in my life--plenty of things like the bank manager where the iron balls come out. I'm confident with negotiating discounts, interviewing, public speaking, teaching... Looking back on the bank thing, the idea I had coming in was, this $25 fee was on top of...

I found this site by googling my own name... turns out some guy here has the same name as me.

If you say hey to them, I'm thinking maybe stop for a second, or at least slow down. If you say something and then keep on going you'll be gone before they have a chance to respond! The idea is that some of these will morph into little conversations (which is next week's task, but that doesn't...

Didn't realize how hard eye contact was. I tried it at Walmart today and involuntarily looked away every time. So I'm still at zero but now I know what I'm up against. Confidence is a fickle thing, though: My stop before Walmart was to the bank where I had to argue with a manager about a $25...

Good to have you, Vasa. If you have any "college" questions I can try to answer them as best as I can. Didn't realize how hard eye contact was. I tried it at Walmart today and involuntarily looked away every time. So I'm still at zero but now I know what I'm up against. Confidence is a...

I'm starting out with \O/ as well--first day is tomorrow!. We started up another thread (The October Bootcamp) for people just starting since you guys were already so far along, but this is a good thread to repost what I'm about: I'm 21, going to school in the Boston area, studying business...

Time! Okay guys, tomorrow is Thursday, Day 1 of Week 1 of bootcamp. The first exercise is cake compared to what comes next, so go out there and get this done! The two exercises: (1) Make and maintain eye contact with 50 people for at least one second longer than they keep eye contact with...

Hehe... if the Icelandic girls blew my mind and the Swedes and Norse are hotter... wow. One of the jobs I'm applying for has one of its four offices in Stockholm so there's a tiny chance I may actually come up there from time to time. I need to start working out again too. I was doing okay...

T minus 2 days! Great to see so many people joining up! Here's the roster so far: boston \O/ Jukeboxhero Speedstick sbguy I'm glad to see that we all have different things that we need to work on. I think that makes for the best support/pressure group--we can help each other on what...

Just woke up, still a bit foggy both mentally and visually. This looked like "Trust me you don't have to be taught how to cash a check." Which, as crazy/stupid as it sounds, is sorta the same deal. I don't even remember the first check I cashed anymore. But the first time you do that, you're...

Go with the guitar, for one. The trouble with interests is that they never seem like big deals to you, when in fact they're different from what other people do and that's what makes it interesting. Whenever I hit this question the first thought that popped in my head was, "I have no life, so I...

Been reading posts here off and on, and I've decided it's time to go for it and start up bootcamp. I'm starting this Thursday, which is when the weekend starts for me with my schedule at school--so the week (at least for me) will run Thursday to Wednesday. Anyone who would like to join...
