Anson! Please update the first post as long as you can. The more organized the thread it'll be much better for everyone.
Microphone Fiend: You're doing great man!! Keep it up! Let's catch up on the guys in other thread. You know we're better . Whatever they did, we gonna double!
Anson: What's happenning? You had a good EC day 1. What'd ya do on day 2?
Week1 Day 1
2 Hi's and 4 Convos
These two hi's were 1) In a situation I'd ussually say hi and 2) To a semi stranger - someone who's seen me around many times, but doesn't know me.
I find the convos much easier! I just spent all this time trying to say hi, but I ended up initiating a convo instead. I can say Hi, but it just seems too unnatural, but convos seem easy (not to attractive girls though).
IN ANY CASE, the goal of this week is saying hi to 50 strangers and i'm not gonna skip week 1. If I feel uncomfortable saying HIs, but not so much initating convos that means I HAVE TO work on the HIs even if their point is to make you confidet enough for a convo.
Remember guys: the weakest part determines the whole!
So work on it! I have vowed to raise my goal to 100 and I WILL DO IT.
Week1 Day 2
6 Hi's and 2 Convos
Big success for me since these were with now to me COMPLETE strangers.
It started like this: I went out of home and directly went for the bus stop. There were some kid there waiting for a bus so I started talking about busses (typical ya know). Then I went to thru the mall. Still no Hi's. Mall's kinda pressurizing to me. SO HERE's the solution. I went to a nearby friendly neigbourhood (something like the suburbs). And just walked down the street. There was a woman with a cute litlle child and I said good day.
This was the ice breaker and made it easier for the other Hi's. Why did it work: I put on the biggest smile you ever saw - like one of those hollywood fake smiles! And was walking down looking doing the eye contact like that. BIG DIFFERENCE. People actually hold EC longer and often bring it back after breaking it just once or twice more. And if its a girl she smiles back. SMILE PEOPLE, even if ya have to fake it. I did it for the first one and boom sucess (FINALLY!). After that I needed no longer fake It since I was so happy with myself. Walked some feet down the road and there was a woman on a bench. Looked her hard with that ****y smile "Goodday". G-g-g-good day came back the reply. Heh that made me laugh. She got nervous from me, and not me from her. Wooopie. So I decided on a trying a great IDEA I HAD the previous day. To say hi in the park to all the people jogging by. 1 Hi to an OLD dude and then I decided no more OLD PEOPLE!!! Luckuly in the time while I was running 3 HB ran by and I said HI to them all. They were the ones getting all nervous. Nice...
