Week 3, Day 3+4

Ok, sorry dudes, but I have a huge program which is going on...
Short résumé 'bout the last two days:

On tuesday, I've met some great cuties in the lib. Got three conversations which went very well! But in the morning I choked once in the supermarket. There stood this hb 9 and I couldn't open my ****ing mouth! Damn! Anyway yesterday was pretty cool. In the evening, I was at theater, that's why I report tonight.

But for today, it was totally crap. Talked to nobody. I was tired of yesterday and looked like a zombie because I went to bed very late last night...
Tomorrow I'll go to a congress. So I hope I have big opportunities to start a talk with girls. Still got 6 to go...


Stay tuned!

Week 3, Day 5

Ok, today was this congress in Zurich.
It was quite interesting. There were also some hot chicks around there. Got nice convos with Isabelle and Mattina. Mattina is really a hot brazilian cutie. My only problem was my mate, with whom I was at the congress. So have a look at my new thread i've opened...

4 to go.... and still alive! :-D


Cheers!

Week 3, Day 6

Was in library today... Next monday there will be rush hour... (exams)
On the way to university, at the train station, I talked to Dominique... She was sitting on a bench and I sat besides her. I opened with saying something about the magazines, which she held in her hand. Convo went quite nice, on the end when we leaved the train together, she was quite interested in me. At the library, I talked to Tamara, which was a cute girl who was sitting next to me. She also studies economics like me.

So still 2 to go..

Hey man, good job with your bootcamp. I admire how easily you are going to talk to random people. I am doing the bootcamp as well (on the thread Winter Bootcamp) and I'm having some difficulties today approaching anyone.

I will take an example from you and go approach!

Week 3, Day 7

Today, like yesterday, I spent the whole day in the library. Nothing special. There was also no big possibility to talk with anyone (honestly I didn't really like to blabber with anyone...). Later, on the way home at the railway station, by walking down the stairs, I saw a cute chick on the track who was waiting for the train with a lot of luggage. I went towards her, and asked whether she would go on vacation. Unluckily it was a handle in the ****. I found out that she was snoring aunt (twice swiss phrases ^^). I was doing all the talk and after 2 minutes I thought: "**** off, if you don't wanna talk with a cool dude like me, it's your problem!" and went to my friend who was standing 20 meters besides me.

One left!

Thx mate, but it isn't that easy like it seems. Especially in the beginning of each week, it is horror for me. The first time I talked to a chick in the library next to me, that was on monday, I thought I would nearly die. But you see: Luckily I'm still alive .
Anyway, when I have practiced the exercises of the DJBC for a while, I realize quite fastly that there is nothing dangerous about it. The more and more you challenge your fears, they will disappear. That's what I'm doing. If I feel fear coming up in me, I think: "**** off, I'm not listening to this crap!, and wait another 30 seconds to let the fear gets as strongly as it can, then I act. Most of the time it works and when you behave like this, your fears will have no chances...

-----------------

Tomorrow I will finish week 3. After I'll make a little pause of four days, because of the exams. So week 4 will start next friday.


Cheers!

[Rasputin]

well done mate - your doing excellent. only thing i would say, is that can you please add a bit more detail, like what kind of conversations you had, how you initiated etc. would help out losers like me lol. thanks a bunch bro, im gonna start my bootcamp very soon, so this is inspiring.

First of all, I want to give you a little tip: Please change your nickname... Do you think that you'll getting well with this nick? Look at mine: Do you know, who Rasputin is? He was a normal guy, who lived in the 19th century in Russia at the tsar palace. He was a sexiest and ****ed also the tsarina Alexandra. Wikipedia knows more... There exits also a song: Boney M - Rasputin
Anyway, just my impression, but I recommend you to get a new one...

Back to your post: I would like to write more. But after spending the whole day at high stress levels in the library and pushing the knowledge in my brain, I am/was usually too tired to write a whole essay... But for next week you will be able to read longer stories. All right, mate?


Rasp.

Oh, and thanx for the compliment

Week 3, Day 8

Well guys, I got it! I'm through. Wiha!


Short replay of today:
In the morning, when I left the bus to go to the railway station, I saw a chick who was standing and waiting alone with her snowboard. Went to her and asked where she would go skiing. My problem was, that I hadn't time to hold a long speech: My train was about to leave in 1 minute lol... So after 4 sentences of me and her I had to run to catch the train.

Later, after leaving library in the evening, I saw a cutie with luggage who was walking in front of me. Walked faster and while walking beside her I brought the same set like yesterday: "Do you go on vacation?" Great opener; there was instantly a biig smile flashing up on me
Convo was quite interesting, even if the chick wasn't kind of my type I'm usually interested in.


Debriefing of week #3:

In the beginning, that convo thing was really hard. But after the fith one it was getting more and more easier. Received also lots of IOI's. And next time I get from the first Anna I've met the phone number... (I'm still angry that I didn't *argh!*) Anyway, it was an interesting week and learned loads about dealing/opening/talking with women.


Cheers! And 'til next Friday...

Week 4, Day 1

Well gentleman
Let me give you a short résumé of my last big hit! It was just AWESOME...

I was sitting in library on wednesday and hung my head over my books in the evening. I was observing a HB10 (in words: ten!) the whole day, who was sitting a few meters away from me. Then at about 7 p.m. she packed together her stuff and was about to leave the lib. Actually, I didn't want to do some DJing... But this was my chance! I stood up and thought: "Now you gonna pick up, dude!" I just went to the exit like her and in front of the door I got close to her. I opened with: "Enough learned for today?" And the game was rolling! Yeah! It was just awesome. We talked about half an hour and finally I got her phone number! YEAH! I was really nervous, but anyway she seemed really interested in me and yesterday we had lunch together. Today we'll go downtown hanging around and I hope to go for a KC. Just awesome...


Cheers!
Rasputin

 

[Rasputin]

Back to the game!

Well guys, I'm back in the bootcamp

After some hesitating and oneitis I'll restart week 4 tomorrow! Got my hard lessons learned and I'll go on!

Next post: tomorrow!


Stay tuned!

Week 4, Day 2

Ok, today was ****ed up day. Talked to a girl who was sitting next to me in library. I started a convo by asking her if she were one of those law students with the huge exams next week. We got into a nice talk, but after five minutes of talking, she annoyed me. So I didn't want to ask for her number. Afterwards I'm a little bit disappointed 'bout that, because it could have been my first rejection...
Generally, today I wasn't in mood to talk to anybody. Still little bit of Oneitis bout the missing hb10 I think...

Anyway I'll wait for tomorrow. Then I'll go downtown if nothing extraordinary happens on campus.


Rasp.

PS: Little explanation about the failure with hb10:
My problem was that I met her too late. She was an exchange student from germany. I met her on wednesday and only on thursday we got in deeper contact with each other. The problem was, that she was about to leave Switzerland on sunday with her parents, whom already appeared on friday afternoon from Germany (omg what a **** timing!!)
Yeah, now you can imagine what happened, dudes. The girl hadn't much time left for me. So she's now back in Germany and I'm really mad, because the chances of succeed were HUGE!

Week 4, Day 3

Allright, again a **** day... Nothing worked well today and I'm a little bit depressed at the moment. Tomorrow I'll go downtown to look after some chicks who'll buy some last minute gifts. First I'll do some remedial training with greeting and conversating, before I'll go for TWO number rejections.
To achieve the goals I recall my challenges:
1. I really have to leave my comfort zone!
2. I want to talk with any woman, whom I'm attracted to
3. I want to be the greatest mother****er in town

(Ok, last point wasn't that serious )
Well let's see what's happening tomorrow!


Cheers!

Week 4, Day 4

Ok today was a heavy one. I got up at 11 a.m. and went downtown about 1.30 p.m. But I had one big problem: I was totally energized and extremely nervous that I nearly couldn't stand upright. Why so? No idea. Maybe social anxiety?
I headed around full of fear. Then after two hours of nothing said to somebody and feeling quite ****ty, I went back to the bus station. In the bus I was thinking: "You're a damn bastard. Once a little under pressure, then you pull in your ****ing horns! Enough, now you go back and rock that ****!" So I drove back to town and I was feeling much bether. I was ready to hit the hot chicks. There was only one problem: The stores closed in about half an hour and there were no more cuties around there downtown. Only old stressed wifes, who wanted to get their last minute gifts...
So sarging on Christmas is crap, if you go too late. In the afternoon there would have been some nice opportunities, if I would have took them; but you know the story...
Something what I also recognized is, that there were a lot of pairs in the city who were there together.
For tomorrow, I got to think about where I want to go seduce. The shops are closed, due to Christmas.


Rasp.

PS: Oh and merry X-mas @ all!

 

[Rasputin]

Day Off

Well guys, I'm having a little trouble with week 4 down here:
It seems that my social anxiety is much bigger that I thought. I have a big fear of rejection and that's what I gonna have to fight against.
I feel quite tensed and ****ed up the last few days I began week 4. My intense is, that I set myself under too heavy pressure. So I have to take that whole DJuaning a lot easier. I really want to get ten rejections.
Ok, so for setting my motivation up to get my ass out of the comfort zone, I want to finish week 4 'til Sunday the third of January. That'll be over next sunday. I'll post next, when something interesting happened regarding DJ-Bootcamp. Any advices, where I could go DJuaning tomorrow?


Cheers!

 

[Rasputin]

Week 4, Day 5

Ok, that social fear **** still keeps me down:
Went downtown in the afternoon looking some hot chicks where I could get a rejection from. I hung around about 2 hours, but I didn't make any approach. There were many people around and I found at least 3 opportunities where I could have made an opener. But I choked every time (****).
Anyway my self esteem regrew hardly this afternoon at the end when I went back to university (I have no idea why it had been down and why it came back)

Tomorrow, I'll go to work. So I don't think that there will be any time for DJuaning. So the next rejection day will be on wednesday.

Occasionally, my intention is, that I'm taking this rejection **** too serious. I should be able to say: "Well, let's see if there's a pretty girl around, and if so, how can I come in contact with her." Actually, I'm pretty more in the mood like:" I have to talk to a girl, I must get this rejections etc..." Probably I just should approach, whom I'm interested in and the rejections just happens automatically... Maybe that's the mind change which made me lot more self confident now...

Finally, I'm back again!

Ok guys, I'm back in again!
Got my second exams passed last monday and now I'm back in the bootcamp.
For the next days I've planned to start some remedial training beginning tomorrow. After that, I will restart week 4 of the bootcamp. So my next post will be tomorrow.

Cheers!

Remedial Training, Day 1

Well gentlemen, I did a few hi's today. In the evening I went out with some of my friends in the cinema. Tomorrow I'll go downtown.
I still have a big fear of approaching people on the street. But I'm working on it!

Cheers!
Rasp.

 

[Die Hard]

Nice to see your field reports, Rasputin! I always find field reports very inspiring, keep it up!

 

[Rasputin]

Remedial Training, Day 2

Ok guys, today, I did a great anti-social-fear exercise: I gave some lessons in a class at school where my father worked. One of their teacher was ill, so my dad asked me, if I want to come and pass some lessons with the kids. It was interesting, but it was very exhausting: Oh yeah, if 40 eyes are staring towards you and are waiting, that you tell their ears something interesting it's very demanding! So, to be a teacher is really a challenging profession (I don't want to be one at all!). Anyway, tomorrow in the morning I'll have 4 other lessons.

After class in the afternoon at 4 p.m., I went into town to even challenge more my social fears. Went into a bookstore to buy a voucher for my brother's birthday, which will be tomorrow. I choked talking to two cuties who were standing there and discussing about some stuff. Anyway back on street, I greeted a few people. Did also some short talks with an older man in an elevator, when I went to my contact lens specialist. Then I went in a café drinking a cup of tea on the bar. On the left side sat a cute chick who was reading a book. But she seemed very closed and focussed on her reading material. So I started a convo with the guy who was situated on the right side of me: He was writing some stuff on a writing pad, so I asked him if he was doing some sudoku (a puzzle). He was very friendly and we started a interesting convo who lasted for about half an hour.
It was pretty a cool day, today. There should be much more such days!

@die hard: Thx very much for the input. That stuff keeps me motivated. Also, I'm glad that you enjoy my posts, even if I'm not an english-master


Cheers!

Remedial Training, Day 3

Ok, today I had four other lessons at school in the morning. Again it was very demanding and I was tired after them.
In the afternoon I went to the doc. There I flirted a little with his cute assistant. She knows me quite well after the many visits
Anyway, as I called the doc's office again in the early evening to change my next appointment, she was very pleased that it was me on the phone hehe...
After the doc, I went downtown and tried to greet and talk with people. Did a few greetings and a little talk with two saleswomen in a boot shop who had nothing to work at all. Asked 'em: "Women, are you bored?" And then the convo starts. I really got to focus more on my fears. Next monday I'll restart with week 4 again.


Stay tuned!

Remedial Training, Day 4

Well, this afternoon again I went downtown shopping. I was holding eye contact and greeted a few persons. But I hadn't got a possibility to start a convo with somebody. So in the evening after long hesitation, I decided to go out ALONE for the first time in my life. And it went very well! First I went into a bar where I never was been before and had a beer there. Ok the goth dudes weren't that kind of people I used to hang around, but the music was fine (bam! bam! :rockon: )
Ok after, I went to a bar where I had been often before, but never alone. There I met an old friend and I had a great talk with him for the rest of the evening.
So this was my first single run out in the evening. And it was a great experience after some huge doubt. Awesome!


Cheers!
