Hi guys!

After realising about three years ago that I am an AFC, my situation didn't changed dramatically; it nearly stayed the same, with AFC attitude and so on...
I'm a student, gotta lot of great people as my friends and I really like my part-time job. But I can't meet woman!

But now I'm here to change that dramatically! I want no longer have any fear to speak with strange people, especially women! Thats my target, my vision. I start my don juan boot camp right now. And I'll gonna finish it.

A strange time either (X-mas, winter)? Yes, but I just don't want to wait till spring so I just start over now.

I hope you guys will comment my posts and cheer me up in hard times!


Cheers

Week 1, Day 1

Okey to be honest, I didn't closed my eyes for a sec last night, since I decided to start the Boot Camp yesterday, cause i was too excited (it seems that I gotta kinda feeling how my lives gonna change now ;-)).

After reading all the Boot Camp stuff of Chapter one during the night, I went out to a big and famous market in the morning which is hold one time per year in the city where I'm studiing. Went quite well with eye contact. I saw a hottie at the McDonalds, smiled at her, kept eye contact and choked instead of saying somethin to her. NEEEXT...
During the day I went to class at university and tried to keep the eye contact high. Interesting how people respond on that...

No "Hi" or "Hello" to anybody, but a solid eye gaming hehe :)

Thank you redzone, my conviction is, that nearly everything can be controlled by your own mind...



Stay tuned! I will...

Week 1, Day 2

Okey today I was at work. And today work really sucked in the morning *argh!*

Anyway, as I work in a supermarket I come in contact with lots of people... It's tremendous how people react on improved eye contact (especially woman hehe...)

Standing in a row at lunch to get my meal, I saw a cutie behind me who was in my shop just before. Tried to start a convo, but the convo stopped after one sentence of both... :-/
Notice to me: Try to find topics, where you can continue a convo well after the opener...

After I eated my meal, she went out for a cigarette. I sweared, if I came back from toilet I'd go straight out to have a little talk with her. As I came back, no cutie around... Argh!
Next notice: Don't hesitate! Get up your ass and do it!

Remaining "Hi's" 50... Those in the market I doesn't count.

I'll ****ing have to leave my comfort zone! Tonight I want to five people said hello...

did you get my message?
I got it... Did you got mine now? :cool:

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

Update:

Ok, did a quite good job... Said hello to 8 people (omg the first one was awful (anxiety), after it went more or less easily)
When I entered the class room at university a cute girl asked me whether the "blabla"-lecture would take place here. I answered with one sentence and then again failed to continue the convo appealingly (Damn!)
Any good ideas gentlemen?

42 to go...

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

Update:
A cute student chick asked me to send her some school stuff. As return I said that I wanted to drink a coffee with her. So let's see what's gonna happen hehe...

Puh I'm totally exhausted... Ok, so let me tell you about my day:

In the morning I was studying at library (exams in two weeks) and tried to start a convo with the girl sitting next to me: Asked for a handkerchief, but it seemed to me a bad place to talk; everybody's looking angry at you when you cadge in a library (believe me ;)) So the convo didn't last long.

In the afternoon I went downtown for about two hours hanging around and greeting... Damn that was real hard! Totally pinched but happy I returned home.

20 to go!

PS: Got great impact on some girls today. Sometimes they greet ME now! Pretty cool... lol

Week 2, Day 1

Well guys, here I am, and it's great to be back! Wiha!

Ok brief summary how the last two days went:
Saturday I was working the whole day. Nothing special. On sunday, I read the bootcamp stuff for week 2 and downloaded the music picks (I really like Dave Matthews Band).

Ok let's headin' on today:

Today I started with week #2. In the morning I was at lecture in the university. After lecture, I went to the library in the afternoon. And there was this cute hb 9! (Actually a 10 after I saw her cute little ass after she stood up ;)). So I sat straight beside her. I thought about half an hour, how I could start with her a convo. On toilet, I decided, when I came back to the lib, I just start off a little talk with her, just right away! Actually, I always gotta overwhelm my approach anxiety like this^_^ I hope this will stop someday...
Said than done, and it worked well! GRREAAT! I'm still proud of myself of gettin' my ass up (Either way I would have kicked my ass if I didn't catched her) So the talks between us weren't genius, but I gotta say that I'm just in week #2 of the DJBC so f*ck off... :D Anyway the IOI's of her were quite good so I hope she'll come back tomorrow to the library to continue our little communication hehe... So that was my day... Hope tomorrow getting as good as today...

9 talks to...... (this will gonna be a hard week)


Stay tuned!

Rasp.


PS: Fixed a lunch date with a HB 9.5 at wednesday, whom I also know from the library. Wrote her a ****y SMS, if she would be around the lib today. After she just asked if we could have a meal on wednesday :D

Okay today was really crappy...

Was in library the whole day and weather was **** too... No talks with any strange person. My ****ing approach anxiety also didn't help me much today. Well, let's go for tomorrow!

Still 9 to go...


Cheers!

Week 2, Day 3

Went to library to learn for exams in the morning... My lunch date with the 9.5 cutie wasn't really the burner. Her ability in conversing is **** (I knew that already before, but anyway). At least the food was good!

Allright, in the afternoon at library, I felt a certain pressure come up on me, cause I still had to talk to 9 people. So at 4 p.m. I went downtown looking for some folks to speak to. At Christmas Market I talked with two sales assistants. It was quite hard to find somebody who's willing to blabber with you in the cold...

How do you guys handle that?? For me it was quite difficult! Opinions please!

So after strolling around, I came back to campus, where I choked talking to a guy who sat in a deckchair in the cold tapping on his laptop (what a crazy bastard!). Damn! At least I tried to start a convo with a girl who was reading a book in the entrance of the library. You don't believe it, but half a minute ago I started the conversation with her, I got ****blocked by two of her girlfriends! Argh! Great timing chicks!
Anyway, after that I decided to pack my things and go home. And now it went really interesting: I left the main building of the university and then I saw a guy sitting on a bank and listening to his music. I grabbed my ass and asked him to what he's listening to. I found out that he's a really cool fellow and he's coming from South Africa. I guess I'll have a beer next friday evening with him hehe.. :D

PS: 6 to go...

Ok gentlemen, here we go

The vast knowledge of the day: Women won't do a ****ing step towards you (even if they find you attractive)! We must take initiative!

Anyway, at lunch, I spoke with a dude sitting next to me. Later on campus, I saw a guy who was balancing on a rope. Went towards him and talked a little about what he was doing. I found out that it's called "slack-line". I stayed in lib till 8 p.m. Just before I left the lib, I got eye contact with a cutie sitting opposite to me. She smiled at me, but after I choked of talking to her. ARGH! (That would have been such an easy game...)


Til tomorrow

Rasp.

PS: 4 to go...
PPS: Oh and guys, I would be lucky if anyone could write any**** to motivate me a little to continue the DJBC! Thx

You know we have a boot camp going right now that started on Thanksgiving. So you would have to repeat a week, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Week 2, Day 5

Like yesterday: I was at university and in the afternoon I went downtown to talk with people. Started a convo with a dude who came out of a CD-store. I asked him which CD he had bought. After I went into a clothes shop and talked to a sales assistant for about 20 minutes. Then again on street, I met a military and talked with him on french for about 5 mins.

Tonight I'll meet Louis, the guy whom I met the day before yesterday and I'll have a beer with him.

Still 1 to go...

Tomorrow I must more get out of my comfort zone. I only approach easy targets.

Yeah, at the moment I am stressed with the exams which will be held in a week. So for week 3 I think that I will use two weeks instead of one.

Oh, and if you didn't realize it: Today I ****ing wasn't not motivated to get up my ass and do the DJ stuff... Hope tomorrow it's getting better...

Okay today I did my first hit! Went quite well. I saw a cute student chick at the lockers on campus. Went towards her and started a convo for about 3 minutes.
But I still have big problems to start a convo where I cannot open with a serious opener (I have still huuge social anxiety...) I choked a few times... But I'm working on it!
