I am a new rAFC and just started boot camp and reading the bible. One of the things mentioned is to work on EC. I thought that was really going to be tough for me since it seemed creepy and I am kind of shy. So I spent that last two days practicing everywhere I went. It really got easier and I got some smiles and "Hi"s from several HBs.
So anyway, I decided to try it out in more of a PU scene. I went to the local bar. Being the holiday it was kind of dead, but being Kareoke night at least some HBs should show up. A good setup for the rAFC like me.
I got there early and got a good seat at the bar and started practicing the EC. I did not care who it was. I looked them in the eyes and held their gaze until they looked away. I do this for about 20 minutes. Next thing I know this UG3 comes over and starts talking to me. I was polite and thought at least it is practice and maybe if I am nice to her I will look better in the HB eyes. The conversation goes on way too long but I did not want to leave the place since I had identified and started working another target. Finally, UG3's freind comes to take her home, but she insists on giving me her #. Yikes!
After that I went to the bathroom and on the way back approached the target(HB 6) and her friend(HB5). It gave me a great opening and I started the conversation. I pu$$ed out on the #close but baby steps are better than no steps. I now know for sure now that regret is far worse than rejection.
Anyway, I just wanted to say I am a believer in EC now.
