Congradulations on making it to week 2, this is where the fun starts happening. The last week you held eye contact and said hi to 50 strangers, this has hopefully made u bit more out going and more confident in people, seeing that now u should know just because you say hi someone they are not going to pull out a shotgun and shoot u lol. So seeing we are all still alive, we are now going to focus on talking to these people. Don't worry about ladies so much this will also consist of approaching guys and talking to them, but try get a few ladies in this week because u can guess what week 3 will be haha.
I will also allow this weeks task to be done at work if need be. Maybe u work in a coffee house and u see a lady sitting down having her coffee after a hards day work, just walking by and striking a conversation with her will be allowed, seeing under the circumstances u didn't have to talk to her. If possible try to stick the approaches to the clubs or just in your every day life eg. bus, gym, which is what i will do. I will list todays exercise and rules at the bottom. Now for the DJ list

Exercise 1
Your mission is to go out and have short conversations (2 – 10 minute each in length) with 10 strangers. You can talk to them about anything, and you can talk to any person whom you have never spoken to before. You’ll find that it might feel a little awkward in the beginning to talk to strangers for any length of time… but after the first couple of times you’ll find that it’s actually a wonderful feeling. You’ll really get a rush out of this.
Also, keep in mind that most people want to meet other people and have conversations with them, but are just too shy or insecure. So in fact, you will be doing a huge favour to those people whom you decide to hold a conversation with. Plus, I’ll bet you’ll learn new things from them, and maybe even make a couple of new friends. And in this phase of the Boot Camp, don’t let yourself feel limited to speaking to only girls… speak with anyone you want!
In fact, if you’re a bit apprehensive about talking to people, you can start out with those people who are easier for you to approach. For me, this is senior citizens, since I’ve found that most of them love talking with anyone who would give them half an ear, and I’ve found them to be very interesting conversationalists.
After each conversation, write down in your journal what you thought of the conversation, and approximately the length of the conversation (estimate if you don’t have a watch). Once you complete this lesson, post your results, plus the topic of your most interesting conversation, and anything else you wish to share.
You have until this time next week to complete this lesson. Also, make sure you keep on practicing the skills learned in the first lesson (e.g., you can practice establishing eye contact with someone, saying Hi, and going into a conversation. However, initial eye contact or a Hi is not a requirement before initiating a conversation).
