(Thanks again everyone, your encouragement is keeping me going.)

hey guys, give me a break, if you keep treating me like a celebrity for getting an ALMOST kiss close your gunna put to much pressure on my game! Lol jk keep it up, I want something to keep me going!

So in the last little bit since I posted. I’ve been going out, starting conversations with strangers, and generally having a good time. Overall my success has been rapidly increasing and my confidence is through the roof… I think I’m getting close to killing my inner AFC. It’s shocking how quick he goes, a few successes and he’s hurting, a couple numbers…he’s stabbed, and after realizing that PEOPLE’S OPINIONS REALLY DON’T MATTER!

He hears his death knell being rung out.

I’m seriously shocked at how quick your confidence in this comes and how easy it is to improve. It’s SO SIMPLE… I want to kick myself for waiting for so long. So Why am I so ecstatic? Let me explain, I opened these two sets with weird results… And I didn’t give a damn at ALL!

Let me explain, so last night, I go to my university class room and spot this one HB6.5 I had chatted to last week. I walk up to her and open with a “hey, hows it going.” Cause I just want to work on conversation, she was good enough for my tastes. What happened was she was on her cell phone at the time, and not matter how hard I tried, I could not get the girl to pay me much attention… she just put up the B!tch shield and went into stasis. So I’m like… owch! And try to find an opening… At the same time my mind keeps telling me to simply call her on her body language and tell her to stop being stupid. I didn’t, so I simply excused myself and left…

And guess what? I DIDN’T GIVE A D@MN! Infact I felt SORRY FOR HER! I felt like she had just let one of the best opportunities in her life slip her by because she didn’t want to engage me! I mean it! I ACTUALLY FELT LIKE I THAT! I was shocked… but the more I thought about it, the more I began to make sense. Here I was this guy who was interesting, smart, and hell, SEXY Guy coming up and approaching her, and I honestly felt like I was doing her the favour of my presence, not the other way around! It was the most bizarre feeling in the world… I still felt like I had a million dollars in my back pocket.

So anyways, today, got dressed and headed out to university. I did a couple sets without any really remarkable results. (I got shot down a few times, and got a few IOI’s nothing all that interesting to report.) However, my last set of the day was really remarkable. I spotted this one HB9.5 on a computer in the library. She could of easily cleaned up into a 10 or an 11 with no problems and I decided “ah what the heck.” She was by FAR the most attractive girl I have ever opened too. So I notice a friend of mine is sitting about 2 seats away. I walked up to him and started to chat, I used it as the opportunity to look for anything I could open with as she was positioned with her back behind me. I noticed that she was sitting on the end of the row, and was doing some sort of PowerPoint presentation set up… It was on fashion. So I decided that I knew enough from trying to correct my own style that I could make some light conversation on this if my opener failed. So I walked past, acted like I spotted something that caught my attention and noticed that the title was “fashion derogation”. I figured I could you use it so I opened. A Big friendly smile was on my face, and I approached without hesitation. I opened “hey, fashion degragtion… what the heck is that? It sounds like some sort of rip away clothes”. She responded with a laugh and then turned to chat to me. I noticed that because she was on the end, I didn’t want to hover so I squatted down to her level and came down and squatted next to her. She seemed rather comfortable with me and I began to engage. It started well, but I messed up… forgot to neg and was to “Nice Guy” overall. (Never again!) But I still managed to keep things going till my knees started to hurt. I decided this wasn’t going anywhere and I so I decided to exit. I did so, and politely excused myself… however I took like 2 steps, and without thinking turned and asked if she had an email. She didn’t immediately respond, however after a second or two she asked me if I had facebook. I told her slightly annoyed that I wasn’t interested in that and began to walk away… as began to turn and leave… she asked me if I WOULD LIKE HER PHONE NUMBER! I refused, lol, I REFUSED A HB9.5! I was thinking that she had failed in my eyes. For the first time I had screened a girl. It was hilarious. She was stunned beyond words.

Well I walked away, she apparently turned to my friend whom I had been chatting to and asked me if they we were actually friends… he said yea, and she was along the lines of apparently “That guys your friend?” and was eager to know more about me.

Anyways, questions, comments. The usual.

@ PhatRabbit: Hey man, about that girl calling you creepy… I’ve heard it happens a lot when you number close. I know I’m only a beginner and junk, but next time don’t try to avoid the question… embrace it with humour. For example in drama, the first Improvisation thing they teach you is “Never Deny”, I also believe that it can be applied to real life. For example when a girl asks if you’re a stalker or a creep when you number close tell them “of course, I’m gunna call you 10 times a day, flood your text box, and keep pestering you until you have to change your email.” Say it with a smile and it usually they will be disarmed with you passing that test. Heck, consider saying it as a joke when they first give you the email so the question NEVER even comes up. But remember to never deny it… or else they’ll think you’re lying. Make sure also to never say nothing cause they might think your stunned into silence and they’ll probably think that they figured out you deep dark secret. (Though, their wrong… their imagination is always you’re worst enemy in this case.)

Nice work migel, really.

This was typed up last night, forgot to hit submit:

I'm at 42 hi's, and well over the EC requirement. Finish easily tomorrow, since I didn't get to go out as much as I liked today.

May be going out to a club tomorrow, should be good fun.

I wear glasses (when driving, mostly, though I should always but hey), though I have contacts. Used to wear neither if I was just going out it, was a bit annoying really, but I've made a point to put in my contacts when I go out now, makes a nice difference to my confidence.

Got in one short convo today, cashier at a store where I bought some spraypaint for a project of mine. HB7.5, pretty cute, maybe 5'0". Did a short joke just to keep talking after the typical 'hey hows it going', and a neg about her height, can't remember what I said anymore. A bit of fluff for a few min (no one else in line), got a good number of IOI, playing with her hair, biting bottom lip, etc. Didn't # close though I could've easily, meh always others, and better looking.

Got home, looked her up on facebook for kicks, turns out she's my bro's age (16). :\

Even this is more than I'd usually dare to do (the odd small convo and closing, especially in such a setting), so it's pushing my comfort zone a little, but that's progress. Can't wait to see how the rest of this goes.

Noticing how powerful eye contact and a smile is, now, vs. lacking both.

Week One End Report

Well, I've been *super* busy this past week, along with switching to being vegan, and a bunch of drama in my household (where I live with roommates), and a concert during the week (man work sucked after that...). I've done my 50 hi's, mostly during the day on errands and stuff, and did my eye contact as well. Sadly I was so busy that I was more trying to get it out of the way than really focusing on it. I don't think that'll be a viable strategy next week -- I have a lot of AA so I'll have to focus if it's going to happen.
To be honest, I didn't find this week very difficult, because I do things like make eye contact naturally anyways. I think that the next week is going to be much harder, and hopefully stuff will have calmed down a smidgen in my life by then, so I can really buckle down. I still have a ton of motivation to get this ***** done, so things should work out well.

Week one report

50/50 hi's and eye contact done.

I didn't do has much has i should of this week, but i learned some things that i am going to try week 2. I got exams coming this week so ill study, but ill take a bit of time off to complete the task for week 2.

I tried to number close twice this week and failed, but i learned from my mistakes and i have a feeling with the knowledge i have now my closes r going to b more successful.

I noticed my skills with opening and convosation r pretty good, but closing for number is a problem, but i am learning piece by piece from peoples advice, watching other people and my own experiences ways to do it better. In week 2 or week 3 depending on my exam revision i am going to go for 1 of my 3 goals apart from this bootcamp, which is 100 approaches in one day, last time i only got 61. Next time i do it though i am going to work on closing and improve that part of my game till i master it.

Jesus miguel, you're an inspiration. Way to start the boot camp!

I need 10 more hi's and I'm going to a bar tonight. Those will happen without me even trying (I'll work more on conversation, last time I went out I didn't really do much humor and my convos went nowhere), so count me in for week 2.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
Hey guys, I finished my experiment ! Results are below, but first:

Miguel -> Ah that was great. After denying her number you could have told her you will give her one last chance to give you her email (with a smile of course) and then told her nonchalantly to write her number down too anyway. It's a pretty common # close.

Or if you were just having fun, you could have asked her why you would want her number (if said in a playful way there is a good chance she would have started qualifying herself)

Phat Rabbit -> That was probably the best response. Miguel's one is nice too but if you do not have a response it's usually best to either ignore it, or give her one of those raised eyebrow looks (or neg and ignore her for a bit if in a group.) Do not let it mess your frame up, she's just "**** testing" you see if your personality is congruent with someone who is outgoing/confident enough to approach women like her. She is looking for your reaction.

OC -> Be careful with the 16 year olds or she might start a shrine to you ! ;)

edit: moved experiments to the week two thread since they were done technically in the time frame.

wow pretty nice hbk, i didn't expect her to call u back after u left when she said she had a bf, i thought it would of been better to jus say something like "thats awesome ill take u two out some time". I guess i was wrong or maybe u just got lucky or other circumstances like ur confidence was to strong she could not leave without u taking her number. Either way i guess i have to do a few experiments of my own to find out.

Alright, update here:

Finished the hi's yesterday, and EC already done, so I'm in for week 2. Didn't get to go to the club, but hey. Chatted with an employee at Home Depot, little older than I am (for a change :p) and maybe an HB7, just small talk about jobs, school, etc., nothing too special but it was fun.

Blue Group FTW!
