FR: W2D2 - I love myself too much, or not enuff

So eager to start at my new workplace I hardly slept lastnight. But I did get some reading done. Shamefully it was purely for entertainment purposes, if you don't know what I'm talking about maybe you should check out the 'tips' section. So nothing serious there, just wasting some time.

I had an appointment for orientation and a seminar at 9:30am. It is compulsory for all new employees. At 8:30 I head out to town. While in town I receive a phone call and reception told me that unfortunately the lady heading the seminar is away ill today so I don't start til tomorrow. This was bad news because I was all excited for nothing. So while I was in town and looking suave, I didn't want to waste some quality BC time.. I also decided to do some shopping. And I know, buying things to substitute for unhappiness is a mental disease. But I have money. And this is getting overanalytical.

I head into a bookstore and buy 'The Game'. While there I scoped out some other books and said hello to 2 pensioners for BC purposes. I didn't start a conversation as I wasn't interested in talking too much to them. I bring the book to the counter and ask the tall HB7 brunette worker when this book was released,
HB tall: About a month ago, it is relatively a new book.
-HB6 Blonde (killer golden body, nice fvkken outfit, weird face) walks in the book store and queues behind me. I got nervous as I was polluting my head with thoughts of "What if she sees the cover and notices it is a pick-up book", "She would probably think I'm weird and that I lack social skills?". I felt uncomfortable and I wanted to jet pretty quick.

But I remember reading somewhere that we all should hover around the borderline of our comfort zones to expand them. So I was gonna do myself a favour, I was to test myself and push the envelope a little further. I decided to delay this moment and learn to slowly digest it and not be phased bu it. Seize the moment and conquer it! I asked the HB tall if this book has sold many copies,
HB tall: No, not really. It has sold a couple of copies but it hasn't been going out of the nose. <-- or something like that, that's what I honestly remember her saying.

I was getting comfortable, I almost wanted to GET caught out. I wanted HB blonde to find out what book I was buying. Hell, I thought to myself, I'm a pretty cultured person for buying books in the first place. So after HB tall bagged it I left with a beaming smile on my face.

I sat down in the food court reading 'The Game'. Nothing was happening around me so I left after reading 2 chapters.

While walking down the mall, book in hand, I notice a HB7 puppy fat brunette with those a-sexual RnB sunglasses from about 30ft away. This by far was the BEST EC, smile, Hi I've ever done. I'm gonna break down what happened.
30ft - Initial EC from quite afar
25ft - I smirk
20ft - She looks at what's in my hand proceeded by
15ft - sexually eyeing me up and down then lock eyes again
10ft - I say Hi
05ft - She says Hi and smiles
01ft - Both maintaining EC, slight turn of heads and break
Pretty friggin magical huh? Or maybe I'm looking into it too much due to my recent lack of tossing, my ode to BC, only will I get it from the real deal. Or UG4. I'm drifting off topic here.. Anyway! I was so entwined in the moment I forgot to start a conversation. I really regret it now as I recently learnt a new opener perfect for a situation like this. It goes like this,
DJ: "Hey!! You can't just look me up and down without stopping to chat first! I'm not a sex object you know!" <-- playful anger
Then shoot a "just kidding" at her before she can respond. Then you revert back to playful anger.
DJ: "...But I guess you can make it up to me by joining me for coffee sometime."
Then fire a quick "just kidding" again and intro yourself.
DJ: "Hey, my name is RoyalBloodBoy."
Can't remember where I read it or even if it's close to the original adaptation but I wanted to share. Now I'm not sure if this is a direct or indirect opener with the whole "coffee" thing followed by a "just kidding", but it should fit both styles nicely. I will field test this and tell you guys what happened.

So yeah, back to the FR, I regret not opening her with that, similar in the way you regret not remembering to horn that idiot in your fit of rage when he nearly crashed into your lambo-diablo. But nonetheless, I came out of that with more self belief and content.

Afterwards I bought 2 DVDs, 'Requiem for a Dream' and 'Fight Club'. On the way to the bus stop I said Hi to a little toddler (who prob can't talk) and his mother told him, "Say hello to the nice man", then she smiled at me. Went to the bus stop and had a convo with a guy (he's got a kid, he's 24, not married, he's a chef, likes the "Hitchhiker to the Galaxy" books, likes Futurama, blah...).

And now for the best part:
Blah, blah, blah, the end.

Week 1's tally:
EC, smiles, Hi's - about 49ish
-will do more to make up for more than enuff cos I'm bad with deadlines-

start right away bro put the field report in this thread, if you have question you could ask THe shezz, RBB or me even if I am just Rafc
 

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

Damn, I just joined recently and missed the begining of the camp. So I guess I'll combine the first two weeks.

Most of the budding DJs have already jumped on the BC bandwagon. We have progressed well into week 3 and are ready to start week 4 exercises by now.

If you're absolutely inexperienced in interacting with the opposite sex you will really feel the benefits of doing the exercises in their intended time frame. If you do a search you will see BC threads are started every so often, so it won't be long till the next BC.

I do check back here every now and then. If you're gonna combine all 3 weeks to catch up, I don't see a problem in posting with all the other W3/4 DJers. Just post your catch up results here as the designated threads for each week are to keep the BCers happy and keep us on the same wavelength. When you reach that stage, inform the others that you have already combined the previous exercises.

Feel free to post your results and experiences for all weeks here, until you catch up. If you choose to do so. It is stickied so you're gonna get reviewed and proper direction by most senior DJs.


Goodluck!

wow, week four?

If I had more free time, and more advanced skills I'd go at that speed, but I don't.

When does the next boot camp session start? In about a month and a half?

If so, I'll just keep reading the material and doing my own excercizes until then.

Anyway, here was my progress thus far:

1) at least 50 eye contacts/ smiles
2) 15 hellos
3) one short convo (with a guy, but I dominated)

Hi

I am a late joiner too but I was off work today so I decided to make a start and I went out and tried to get 50 EC's.

I live in London so I figured it couldn't be that hard and I have no problem with the idea of making EC with people.

Surprisingly very few people want to make EC. I was walking along Charing Cross Road, across Leicester Square and Piccadilly and in and out of various bookstores (I was hoping to use the "Dating for Dummies" opener but there were no good opportunities) and I only managed 16 ECs in a couple of hours.

BTW - what constitutes EC? A lot of times someone will look and then immediately look away. If only sustained EC counts then I probably only managed 4. One of those was with some daft macho guy on the Tubw who probably thought I wanted a fight.

I am not an imposing guy but I train in martial arts a lot and I was beginning to wonder if I was making aggressive eye contact because people seemed to be deliberating looking away to avoid meeting my gaze.

Oh well, it's a start and Rome wasn't built in a day.

Onward! Tomorrow will be better.
:D

Well some people are jumping into week 4. Free tickets if you wanna hop aboard, I've got front row to watch the crash and burn spectacular.

It's all good fer ya. Week 4 is a blast. Doesn't mean weeks 1-3 are a complete waste of time. Good foundations.

Mods, why not put all of Shezz's bootcamp post stickied, so we don't have to search for them and what not. Or a bootcamp forum, but I'm sure that won't happen since nothing is ever done.

Completed week 1 today....huray!:D

One thing I noticed is that in a larger city about 1out of 10 say hi back when you say hi.
But in the small town where I live almost everyone.

On to week two though. Keep up the good work guys


...and never stop trying



your dear friend,

-misterP
 

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

Today I took the initiavitive on using a flascard with the total # of hi's and EC i have achieved so far. I walking by and for some weird reason I started EC the poeple ou ton the street. I started to think " I better make those numbers in the flascard increase." I went to the DMV and I started takling to some guy ini the DMV. I noticed that everyone ignores each other. Its like everytone is living in their own world. It looked that like everyone was quiet, no wonder poeple get so bored its beacuse they dont take the initiative to take a risk. Also, I use the bus often, any good openers to get a convo starting? Im going to the mall righ now to increase my EC and maybe a few Hellos. What can I lose by just staring in the eyes of a few people a couple teeth? LOL I have nothing to lose, but everything Gain. Ima leave now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, say Hi to a complete stranger in the street, think about it, Are you going to see him, her again?

A university is situated where I live so Ima go pimp it ove there even though Im still im high shool. I manage to get a lot of EC.

today i didndt do a lot of EC or his I managed to get a few. I clean houses for a living, sure I said hI to the owners of the houses but I didnt count those. It was too easy so I didnt include those. OMG today I went to go clean so me women house and she had 2 HB doughters and two fo her 2 friends. I think I saw my first 9. I was at a loss for words and actions when I was cleaning near them. It is true what pook said all they do is talk talk tlak mostly about guys on how they didnt take any chances with them. what a sad life just talking about other peole and not taking any action Good thing I have a **** or else I wouold have been like them I want to get rid of this part of me. Im trying to end my destructive habits. No more porno for me Ahh. I did manage to get 2 his and two EC out of somepoeple on the street. For some weird reason now, I tend know to stare or look at the eyes of a peson, not just glance at them and move on. Tommorow is goignt o be judgement day for me 25 his and 25 EC's. EC will ewasy for me beacuse you dont have to say nothing but the Hi's. I guess I am going to have to pull out my 10 in **** like in boileroom and not give a Fvuck when I say Hi, then leave in a Mall and store enviroment.

Hi 25
12-22
My dad wants me to go to work with him. I don't knowIf I go to wotk with him I am have to pull In double duty at night. I t depends how bad you really want something and you have to sacrifice some things in order toi get what you want. I can do this Im am not going to fail this shot again. There are two types of people: poeple who complain but never o anything about it, or poeple that find their weakneess and do something about it. I am the second person, so am I goign to say "No I cant do to work dad I have school work", which in reality this is "school on seducing women." Its in the mornong right now so Il report at night time or tommorow. Also, I had a convo with this one guy in the morning which brings the tally at. Also, form my experience I concluded that EC is important because it denotes to teh person receiveng EC " I am interested in you, I want to talk to you." Lets see what happens.....

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.
