This is getting really frustrating.
I've been trying to accomplish the goals of Don Juan Boot Camp, Week 2 forever now. It seems almost impossible to me.
There seems to be an extremely steep jump in difficulty between Weeks 1 and 2. When I first tried Week 1, I got it done in, well, a week. It was a piece of cake. But I've been at Week 2 for months! I always end up either not being able to think of something to talk about, being to scared, or being in some way completely unmotivated.
My question is this: Given the sharp increase in difficulty between Weeks 1 and 2 (don't tell me you haven't noticed it), should there not be some sort of intermediate exercise in between them? I have no problem making eye contact and saying Hi, but starting two-minute conversations with strangers seems like an overly daunting task for only the second level.
So what might I do as an intermediate exercise between saying HI to strangers and initiating 2-minute conversations with strangers?
