Well, after almost 2 years away form sosuave, slowly once again developing all my bad old AFC habits, i came back. Once again i was inspired immensely by the articles and posts here, once again i resolved to make the changes and take the chances i needed to to actually become a DJ. It started today. Everyone feel free to read this, and anybody who knows what they're doing (real DJ's who didn't get 1000 posts by bumping 47 posts a day for the last 23 days 
) please criticise my technique, give pointers, comment, whatever.
So it was at work today and we ended up needing change. I went to the bank, walked over the corporate window and stepped into line behind an older dude and proceeded to wait. Turns out the teller was and HB7 i'd never seen there before. I made eye contact with her as she was helping the old dude, we both smiled. I made sure to stand tall and not fidget, do anything that would make me look nervous, stay cool. Once old dude was finished i made my way up to the counter, smiled and said hello, told her i needed some change. She went about getting it all together. She had to grab boxes of nickels and dimes form under the counter and open them up, she made a show of how heavy they were, so i cracked a joke about the "trials and tribulations of a bank teller", which got a good laugh.
I was trying, quick, to think of an interesting way to ask for her number. She handed me my change and i said, pseudo-mockingly: "poor girl, all that work i put you through", which got another good laugh.
I said "why don't you let me make it up to you. Give me your number and we'll get together for dinner." I was seriously nervous, heartrate at about 789 beats a minute, but made sure to say it clearly and not too fast.
She says "what'd you say", looking surprised.
So i said it again, a little louder but not too loud, at which point 9 out of 10 conversations in the bank stopped...just about every person in there was watching us.
She said "no"
I said "that's cool. take it easy" and walked out of the bank, still standing tall, trying not to walk too fast, just waltzing out. The whole thing was quite a rush, as it's not something i really do much of.
So...did i do Anything right?
