You do hundreds of approaches just to learn the skill not to get a couple of HBs.
Then, it should go much easier

Julian,
the task for week # 3 is pretty easy - 10 convos, but with girls you would usually approach
I won't be posting tonight - so check the DJBC document for details

So ten is enough? I just made it then!
Had a few more convos with the video store guy, some chick in the elevator, and some girl who was giving me a lot of IOIs on the street. Turned out she was a hooker, but at least I got a convo out of her before I escaped hehe.

once you have several hundred approaches out of your belt - do you start getting f closes and day 2's with more than 50 percent of the HB's you approach or something? that would be very cool.OceanWindRider said:poohead:

you could knock out a couple of hundred approaches in less than a year, six months or so if you really work at it. that's not so bad if you think about it.

10+ convos.
Full write up tomorrow.

Yeah if it's a habit it will be easy. Think brushing your teeth. If you think about how many times you will have to do this in the upcoming 5 years it will be terrifying. 365 days a year, 2 times a day = 3650 times! I can't make it! The only way to not freak out by these numbers is to not think about it
.A couple years ago I was like falling in love every week. In the past months I've been kicking myself after every opportunity to approach. Now I think I've just learned that there is no such thing as missed opportunity, it's all part of the process. One way to relax about this is to realize you are not perfect.
Excellent post by pook "Perfect is boring".

DJ BOOT CAMP WEEK #3 - progress so far...
2/10 convos with HB's
1. Completely botched attempt to game a latina chica at the register of a cell phone store at the mall.
2. I proceeded to try to game the HOT HOT HOT HB9+ receptionist at the gym that I go to. She was nice, but a bit disinterested, I wasn't very C+F or smooth - I'm pretty sure it was obvious that I was a bit nervous. I think she was on her lunch break, and I caught her in line at the Starbucks next door. The guy next to me in line was obviously getting a kick out of the fact that I was totally hitting on this girl. I realized that I might be coming on too strong so I left her alone. Hottest girl I've approached so far.

poohead, cool
This guy was just envious cause he could not go and talk to HB9+ himself!!
Sorry, guys, i am completely tied up with the stuff i need to do for my lawyer today
i will post tonight. It will involve a lot of disciplinary actions
But you know the drill - read the articles in the DJBC and then go do the exercises!

Well I got 10 conversation's total... Although for me this week wasnt so much about that, it was being alittle less reserved and laid back and just approaching and talking with friends of friends, complete strangers, etc..
I'm not going to go through all the convo's, but I think if I tried I could have got 3 # closes.
Regardless, I think i'm going to hold myself back on this week alittle bit, except focus more on opening up to women (HB's at that).

SiL, Good job!
Now, do me a favour. Next time you think you can go for a #close but hesitate for ANY REASON or you think you blew the set. Like you think she won't give you the number or your game was not tight enough.
Go for #close any way! It's important not to lose the possibilities.
Even more important it is that we are often talk ourselves out of a perfectly good set!

FINAL RESULTS
(A day late)
Despite finals week I could not get the assignment out of my head. Here are my conversations.
On Wednesday Night I went to the library to study for a final I had early in the morning.
1. There were two people making photocopies of a test. I asked them about the test.
Time: 5 minutes
2. Three people are at a table for four studying for the final. I am in the same class and ask if I can study with them. After introducing myself one guy tells me that we already met. I am confused. It turns out that he showed up at one of my parties when I was black-out-drunk. He still counts as a stranger because I am a different person when drunk. There was an HB8 in the group. We had fun coming up with dirty mnemonics to help remember stuff. I did not # close because I suck at life. She even wanted to study with just me after the library closed. I wanted a good nights sleep so declined. She offered her # in case I changed my mind. I ignored her and drove home.
Time: 8 hours
3. After the final I go to a barbeque. Three guys that I do not know are playing hack sack. I join the circle introduce myself and hack it up. They were very boring dudes.
Time: 1 hour
4. While playing hacky sac I sky-hack the hack into some random guys house. I retrieve the hack and talk to him.
Time: 3 minutes.
5. I talk to some random dude standing by the bbq.
Time: 10 minutes.
6-9. I go to a drive to a party. I had 3 really really retarded conversations.
Time: 10 minutes.
After waking up from the party I went to the mall. I was too scared to talk to anyone! WTF!
10. On Saturday I volunteered at a local hospital. I pushed my comfort zone and talked to the ER security guard about the submarine book he was reading. It was awkward for me and I got a rush out of the conversation. I was proud of that one.
Time: 3 minutes.
11-20. At the party that night I met and talked to lots of strangers. One guy is a whitewater kayaker. It was cool to talk boating and whatnot.
Time: 4-5 minutes.
Missed Opportunity. At the bookstore I made a girl (hb 3) move so I could get to the Nick Horby books. She had a list was checking off the books she was looking for, and was super ugly. That was a conversation handed to me on a silver platter, but I was too scared to talk to her. People in book stores and the mall are too scary. Last week I could not complete the hi assignment at the mall. I had to walk around campus. I tried three times to go to the mall and say hi since then, but I have been too *****. Do you guys have suggestions as to other places that I could meet people?
