Hey all, i just recently decided to take on the bootcamp since I've never done it and Im working on my 50 hellos. What I've noticed is some girls don't say hello back. I tracked my stats 6 girls said hello back to me, 13 didn't respond in any way. Do those 13 still count towards the 50?

Nothing in the bootcamp is really set in stone. What I did with the hellos is I made *any* hello I initiated count. Anytime I said hello regardless of the response, I was putting effort into improving myself.
Another thing I did which I saw in another bootcamp was I didn't include people who work with the public (cashiers, salespeople, etc). Basically, these people's jobs include interacting and greeting strangers. You pretty much expect them to respond rather than the typical stranger.
There's two things that the first week helps you overcome: shyness when it comes to approaching strangers and rejection. Some grumpy bytch didn't say hello. So what? Everytime I didn't get a response, I laughed. It's just funny when people are so unconfident and unfriendly to bother responding to you.

Its really up to you. In my case i didnt count some hellos because i said them halfassed or sounded too weak, so the person didnt hear me. However, if i said them with confidence and with a strong voice and the person didnt say hello back then that counted. Remember thats its not about their reaction, its about how you feel about it.
