lol, Jango Xavier doin the bootcamp again! good job b!tching out the no shows, I think I'll try this again, but I do have school so not a lot of time to pull Hi's with new chicks.(BC will motivate me to get outta the house more, so that's good) I got up to 41 in c'estmoi's bootcamp, but I burned out. I'm going to push myself to do it in a week this time, cuz last time it spanned over an extended period of time.


Good luck to all of y'all and lets have some fun...

I got like 18 hi's yesterday, most of them were returned. I've found that if you get some EC, smile, and get them to smile back you get a 100% success rate of returned hi's. I've also found that when I'm in a good mood the success rate also soars, I guess it's because you just exude a positive aura.

22 down, 28 more to go.

Week1 Day 3

Sorry this is a little late. I went down to OU last night to my friend's apt. He was having a party so i got like 14 hi's and had conversations with many of them. This puts me up to 40 hi's. I should have no problem getting the rest but i will probably do extra. :)

Week 1 Day 4
Couldn't really BC today b/c I got up late and it was pissing down all day. In holland we don't have malls like the US not the all under one roof we have open topped malls. There is one good thing though our cities r open 1st sunday of the month so im glad BC started this week.
Ive already past my 50 hi's so I concentrate on EC + smiling.
Ive got a small question abt EC? if u get EC and they look away straight away is that counted or is it long EC with a smile?

Hi All

Went to Austin yesterday and just drank, got 4 hi's before i did though. Today, i have eaten, driven back and slept so not had a chance yet - i am going to a club and i will see what happens there. Happy yesterday that when i went to a club with friends - i grabbed one of my friends and danced with her something which i would never normally do - so i am taking that as a sign of progress.

The four i got yesterday take my tally up to 41 so even though i slowed down i am still on track - why have i slowed down - well, to be honest, i think that its a combination of knowing that i am close to the tally and simply having less oppurtunities due to Austin, studying etc but i will pick things up either tonight or tommorrow.

Good to see that people are still posting

Week 1 Day 4

Today really sucked for BC. I made lots of eye contact + smiles, but only did 5 Hi's. Only 2 of them were returned. That gives me 30 left, which is a lot.

The mall isn't really as good as I thought it would be for this kind of exercise. Everybody seems occupied in their own business and are either looking around (whilst avoiding eye contact) or looking straight ahead (still avoiding eye contact). It seems too awkward to say Hi without making eye contact first .. is this what is holding me back?

Day 7 is coming up soon, I really need to rake in these final Hi's.

Week 1, Day 1

Hit up Stonebriar Centre today, plenty of hotties around, too bad most of 'em are probably too young (14-15) or too old (21/22+) for me. Nonetheless, it was fun. Got solid EC on about 7 HB's. Had a great time. Best parts were being followed by 2 HB7 jailbaits after EC and smiling at them. Too bad they left to go talk to their mom. Was sitting on a bench talking off and on on my cell phone, and got repeated EC and smiling from a very cute HB6/7 that worked inside one of the girly stores. Flirted with a HB7 employee in the next store over, a candle store. She was bouncing her head to some cheesy music, so I made the "rock on" sign with my hand it she laughed and told her friend about it, and was sold on my flirting. Ran into 2 very hot (HB8/9) JV cheerleaders, but they apparently were unable to smile back at me. Figures, they're from Plano, land of the stuck up bytches. Oh well, there will be more hotties in the future. No real hi's, but I did talk for a little bit to the girl from the candle store, and flirted hardcore with the girl working in the other store, she tilted her head to the side to watch me leave, and I gave a nice little wave goodbye. Overall, I had a great time, and I'll have to hit that place up again very soon, maybe tomorrow. I'll have to work on my hi's.

Signing up now. Sh1t, I am in a f*cking hurry, if I wanna keep up with the rest of you. I gotta get away from this computer and rake up the 'hi's' (or sawatika's here in Thailand. Maybe the tourist ghettos then as I don't know how the thais will react to a stupid blond farang walking around hi'ing people'). later.

+++++

UPDATE: Day 1, week 1. (starting for days later than the rest of you but I am sure I can catch up to be on speed in time for week 2)
Ok, seeing as I am seriously behind, I went ahead and started tonight, straight after I signed up. I am in Bangkok, so headed down to Khaosan Road, which is where the major tourist ghetto is and simply started walking up and down the road. An experience in itself, simply because of all the unusual and interesting types you see there. Packpackers, hookers, con artists, lowlife expats looking for a hooker. they are all there. I hated the place when I first visited four months ago, but now I kinda like it. Of course, you also get some sh1t hot women walking around there, though they are all Thai. What is up with female travellers? There are plenty of pumped up badass males all over the place, but most of the female travellers are complete nomarks.
Anyway, no point in saying hi to guys, old people and generally unattractive women. I don't feel comfortable saying hi to women walking around with their boyfriends (most of them are the aforementioned pumped up badass males), which severely limited my options (didn't stop me from some outrageous eyecontact with some of them though). Maybe if I didn't wait for eye contact to be made before actually saying 'hi' there would be more options. Nonetheless, I still raked up 9 in my first evening, with the target set at 10 (still time). Will have to get 20 each day the next two days, but I will have the entire day for that. I only had the evening today. Of those 9, only three actually responded to it. I should deliver it earlier than when i did. All in all, not a bad start.

Here we go!

Hey!

I followed cestmoi's bootcamp and did Week 1, but stretched it to two weeks. Anyway I wanted to try week 2 some time ago but never actually started to do some convo's. I've been slacking.

Now I see there's a lot of guys doing the bootcamp, including Jango an Microphone fiend who I know from the other bootcamp, I'm joining you guys. Especialy with week 2 I'd like to hear how you guys are doing and share some advice etc.

I have an exam tomorrow and some meeting on tuesday but rest of the time I'm free to do some bootcamping! I'll start Week 2 along with you, tuesday or wednesday? Until then, my goal is 10 hi's a day.

Week 1 Day 4

Not much happened yesterday. I didnt go out last night. I had to rest from the night before. Anyway, I only got 4 hi's and one conversation. This puts me up to 44 total.

We start week 2 on wednesday for any that are wondering. This is off topic but I realized that James Taylor song "Everyday" is really relaxing :)

Week 1 Day 4

Went to the mall yesterday afternoon, got tons of ec, and 14 hi's. Went to my friend's place for dinner, then went out to a club with another friend. Got in 4 more hi's at my friend's college, before we left for the club. Didn't get any hi's in in the club, very dissappointing, but I ended up going home with a friend of the one I went with. So it wasn't all bad.

Week 1, Day 5

Stayed home all day to work on homework, didn't get to go out, except for lunch. No hi's today.

20 down, 30 to go.

I'll have to catch up at school tomorrow morning, or head out to the mall again and go nuts with hi's in the afternoon. This is harder than I thought it would've been.

Alright, last night I went to a garba. I was planning on going with my crew but everyone *****ed out. It was a solo mission from that point on. I took a shower and got ready and then started having second thoughts, "what if nobody likes me?", "what if I'm off by myself and I look like a creepy loner that has no friends", "what if..." a thousand negative thoughts went through my head. I even called one of my other friends to see if I could go kick it with him instead of going to the garba, and then I heard a female voice in the room when I said "hey do you think I could come hang out for a bit" and he asks someone that's with him "would it be ok for Rahul to come up?". Then I knew I was just acting like a *****, so I was like "nevermind, something came up" and then hung up.

I ended up going to the garba myself but I made a ton of friends. I flirted with a HB7 when I asked her to teach me the ras. I knew she wanted the nuts and I could have got the number but I wasn't all that attracted to her. Then I saw THE HOTTEST GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! This is the first 10 I've ever seen, but her looks didn't phase me one bit. As she was walking by I held EC and smiled and said "hey" and she says "hi" back and is about to keep on walking when I hold up my hands and say "what, you don't remember me?" with a really hurt look on my face. She has a really confused and distraught look on her face as she says "no, I don't think so", then I say "that's because you've never met me before, Hi, my name's Rahul". This got the biggest smile out of her. She told me her name, and I said, "nice meeting you" and went back to my newly made friends. During the ras every time she was my partner I would smile at her and look into her eyes, and then finally at the end I went up to her and said "So is there a number I can reach you at?" she said she couldn't give out her number because she's muslim and she doesn't date. This could be true or she could have just been bull****ting me, but whatever, I couldn't have cared any less. I just said "Oh well, it was nice meeting you" then left. Later on in the night I met up with some buddies of mine, got trashed, and went to Krispy Kreme. I woke up after 12 with a killer hangover but it was worth it.

I had 5 hi's last night so that brings the total up to 27.

No hi's today since I was at home all day cleaning, doing homework, and nursing the hangover.

Week 1 Day 6
Didn,t BC much today b/c I found a really really cool book so I couldn't put it down. All I got were a few EC.
A word of warning guys when u finish week1 and start doing week2 keep doing week1 also b/c when I BCed awhile back I could hi and EC averagely, what I mean is keep hi'ing and ECing till it becomes 2nd nature b/c when I started on wednesday I found it very difficult too start again from being off game for such a long time.

Hi's

I went to the library to study and did my exam afterwards. Didn't pass any chicks on my way there.

Later I went to the city for a haircut, I hi'd two times to separate chicks. Both hi'd back. It was lousy weather in the afternoon, pissing all the time. Ah well, that's the dutch autumn.

I remember some time back after I did Week 1 I sometimes hi'd like 5 times when I just made a small trip around the block, today there weren't much people close to say hi to.

Jango, you're right about the hi thing, that you've got to keep doing it or it'll be more difficult. I'm going to do it just as much as possible, trying 10 a day. Today didn't work, but if I just keep doing it is easier to follow into a convo for doing Week 2.

Sorry I'm late for Day 5 but it wasn't even worth mentioning. I got 1 Hi and a few eye contacts. Not much.

I'm just about to go out right now for Day 6, I'll try the mall again. This time, if they don't hold eye contact with me, I'll just say Hi anyway. I'll report back in a couple of hours for Day 6.

Good luck everyone, you're all doin' great so far
