Seraph's Boot Camp Journal

[Seraph]

2 down, 8 to go.

The great thing about today is that after the two convo's, I was able to analyze what I did and took a few notes on how I could improve. I plan to go to a mall I don't normally go to tomorrow and try some more sales people convo's. Thing is, I want at least 7 of my 10 to be women, so I'll only count 1 more guy towards my goal. Although it's fun to feel respected without even knowing the guy, I want to see what it's like to consistantly roll up on HB's and chat them up. That shy girl that said hi/brushed her hair back from the bookstore last week could have easily turned into a convo, and I plan to get the ball rolling now that I don't have classes to worry about. 2 down, 8 to go.

EDIT: I meant mental notes, not actually pad and paper notes btw

Week 2 Day 6

This has been the worst day of my boot camp, bar none. Confidence is at an all time low, and overall I feel like a failure. But let's start from the begining.

This morning while I was jogging, I passed 3 ladies (middle aged) which I made eye contact with and smiled at. All smiled back. I then went to work out, took a shower and then got a haircut. The barber that I've been going to ever since I was 6 (he doesn't always cut my hair, but he runs the shop) asked me about college and yadda yadda while cutting my hair. He charged me for the men's haircut this time and told me with a smile

" You're not in highschool anymore "

I smiled, said thanks and left, with high hopes. Even though this stupid huurricane has thrown constant rain at my area, I was still determined to go to a random mall and try to get some convo's in. Before I left, a friend called me to go see the AvP movie tonight but I had already made plans with some of my other friends to go, and couldn't hang out with him tonight. I felt bad about ditching him, but he wouldn't have gotten along with the people I was going to hang out with tonight. So after about 20 mins of traffic, I make it to Potomic Mills Mall. BAD IDEA. The place was packed, and I knew as soon as I stepped in that this was going to be rough on me. The other two times I had initiated a convo, there were never more than 20 people around, but in this crappy mall there were hundreds. I drag myself over to a videogame store, because being cramped in with so many people frizzled my mind a bit. I decided to go to a book store in the mall (yes I use them like a crutch) since I figured most people in there won't spend time in a book store.

I get to the store, and granted, there are not alot of people there. I weave my way through, trying to find a good target but am still a bit phased out. I go to the fiction section to try and boost myself up, get myself ready. Then she walks by (HB8), and almost keeps on going. Her movement caught my eye and we made eye contact (briefly). She then stopped, and went to the other side of the books I was on and stood there for a second. I knew this couldn't be a chance happening and sure enough she turned and asked me for the time. This is where my brain went dead. Her tits man, her tits. She had this shirt with a scoop neckline and omg her tits. I got up and pulled out my cell phone like a douche (never mind that I'm wearing a fvcking watch) and look at the time, realize I'm wearing a watch and then tell her the time. She says thanks and I sort of go back to the book I was at (stupid stupid, I know). I realize what I'm doing, and I turn and ask her if it's still raining outside. She says yea with a playful smile and..things sort of die right there. I don't know why the fvck I didn't introduce myself, why I didn't ask her name, why I didn't even ask what book she was looking at but I basically just died right out there. A minute goes by and she says " thanks again" and leaves. I sit there for a second, ears burning, knowing that I just failed a golden oppurtunity, and then I get up and say " well, that's a sign Seraph, you can't just quit and go home. You see, once or twice on my way up there I was thinking about going home, and once I got in the mall I had the " run like hell" feeling but I stayed. I really want to change, I really want to get over this introverted shy bullsh!t- but what did I do when I had a chance? I failed, thats what.

I went to a few other stores, gave 2 smiles after eye contact (only got 1 smile back) and then I just felt my energy leave me. I tried to tell myself to breathe, relax but nope. My feet went on auto-pilot and I went the fvck home. I'm tired of not being able to have convo's with strangers, I'm tired of people not smiling back when I smile at them ( I'M NOT GOING TO ROB YOU, RELAX AND SMILE BACK), I'm tired of failing so god damn much this week. 6 days have gone by and I've done 2 convo's.Two. Do you know how much of a failure I feel right now? The only thing that I know is that a year ago I wouldn't have even asked the girl if it rained. I would have sat there like a dummy. That's the only progress I can see that I have made. But you know what? That's not enough. I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. I think I'm stressing over this too much, but I can't help it.

I'm not trying to be arrogant, but I've been called a pretty boy in the past. I've had more then enough instances where a girl has come up to me or stood near me, waiting for me to act so I'd call myself a 7 or 8. I just hate how these situations happen and I'm never ready for them. You know how they say alot of people are intimidated by " good looking " people? Here's a surprise- we're just as scared as you are! Sh!t, I'm tired of seeing guys get all antsy and act like punks when I walk by staring at their girl, at least they have one! So many seem to get jealous or mad at me for no reason, I can't even talk to 10 strangers, so why create a grudge against me just because of how I look? I'll try to get a pic up for you guys later, right now I just feel like sh!t.

 

[apodyopsis]

hey man, dont be so hard on yourself! the whole point of this bootcamp is to take you outside of your comfort zone, which it is. you seem to be focusing on attractive girls for your conversations, but isnt the point of week 2 just to get past the whole talking 2 strangers thing? week 3 is when u focus on HB's, so just talk 2 every1, any1 you can. and, your not suppose to be 100% succesful, or anywhere even close. there are plenty of @ssholes on this planet, but wat does that matter to you? your in this to learn, expand your comfort zone! dont focus so much on your failures, your out there DOING something. you could just go with your normal routine, and put up the invisible shield with strangers, but by doing this you limit yourself to so many opportunities, not only with women but life in general.


what do you want out of life? ask yourself.. i personally think being a dj would be a greater life then a regular AFC, right? its not only how you deal with women but how you live as well. i know its not easy, im only in week one and its so easy to just shy away and pretend no1 else is visible. but thats not why im doing it... im doing it to force myself out of my comfort zone, to help me on my quest to becoming a dj. im doing this so my future self will be able to succeed where i would fail right now. success or failure is irrelevant. its actually good your failing because those who fail at nothing will ammount to nothing in life.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. "
--Michael Jordan

i think i can safely say MJ's a good basketball player... do you think he let his failures stop him? hell no, and they shouldnt stop you. suck it up, get back out there and keep going!! your doing this now to help your future self... those who do the bootcamp put their pride and ego on the line, and it takes guts to wander out of comfort land. you say ur tired of not being ready when women talk to you? theres your motivation right there... ur in this to improve, dont focus on success rates right now. suck it up, get out there and give it all uve got. just a tip, but maybe u should try doing week 2 again? its important to do this step by step, i dont think i could skip around, and its not good practice for you to try and force the quota in a day or 2. it should be gradual, so it feels more natural as time progresses. my coach always told me "dare to suck." people tend toshow off and stuck to what they were good at, but unless it was a game i worked on the weakest aspects of my game so that i woudl be a stronger player in the end. it felt the same as this bootcamp, u feel weak and vulnurable, but you have to go through it if u want to improve. come on man, i know its easy to just get lost in it, but its the only way ull ever grow. again, i would recommend u do week 2 again, or at least spend a few more days on it. week 3 is focused on girls ud date, so right now just focus on conversations with ne1. each step u take takes u closer to your goal. each failure you learn from, so dont be ashamed of them. sorry this was semi-lengthy, but i hope its motivation for ya. if i didnt hit ne right keys, find motivation, of course theres a reason why ur doing this, why u want 2 become a dj. remember that, let it be ur fuel. for me, all i have to think about is the accident i was in... that impact could have been it for me, but somehow i walked away with cuts and bruises from my seatbelt. when i wanna chicken out, all i have 2 do is remember. remember my second chance at life, a chance 2 become a better person then i was. its ur life, so grab the reins and take charge, theres no other way to live

Re: Week 2 Day 6

When I first started my dj training, I tried to learn skills such as neg hit, cf etc. but neglected to learn "not to care." Not to care is learning not to think too much about the actions of others and yourself. Ie. You frozed up, a girl won't smile back or respond to your hi. From my experience, this skill is a must b/c it prevents hard blows to your self-esteem and confident level.

Armed with DJing skills mentioned above, I was a confident guy. First 2 approaches was good and it raised my confident level higher than before. My 3rd approach didn't go too well (rejected) and my confident level crashed. I still have knowledge of cf, neg hit etc but it didn't do me any good b/c I was down and sad that I didn't have the energy to perform them.

What i'm trying to say is learn not to care first before any other skills because if you're depressed, other skills won't matter much. Also by learning not to care, you'll recover from a rejection a lot faster. My 3rd approach resulted in a rejection, and it took me a good 2 days to recover. I'm much better at learning not to care now and could recover in an hour or two .

Day Off

Thanks for the kind words guys, they helped me out a bit. I plan to do week 2 over, and I also decided to take today off and not worry about any of this Boot-camp stuff.

My friends and I went to a couple of different places today, one of which was a food lion (grocery store). The cashier did the regular greet " hi how are you doing today" and I automatically replied with " good, how are you? ". It came with eye contact and a smile (recieved both btw) and she said she's been better. A little chit chat, not much and I was on my way out with my friends. Take in mind they are both AFC's. One of them asked me if I knew her, and I said no, I was just making conversation. He mentioned about how his brother (semi DJ) does the same thing and then a week later he is going out with the girl.

Speaking of which, later that night we hung out with his bro and a female friend of his (best friend of his gf to be exact) and watched a movie or two. Atmosphere was relaxed and jokes were going most of the time. I noticed some IOI's from the girl (6, 7, only a bit chubby) but I didn't even bother trying. I was just there to relax. So the brother of my friend (semi DJ) and I pulled most of the C+F during the night, and got laughs from everyone. It was great because I just didn't care, I didn't take any of the night (or any of the stuff I did) seriously. It's so much easier and stuff comes much more naturally when you aren't worrying about your posture, or if you are making enough eye contact/kino yadda yadda. I'll see how long I can keep up the attitude of not caring, and see where it takes me this week.

Week 2 Day 1 ( Part 2)

Today I did some more eye contact, smiles and walking totally straight. The walking/eye contact alone got me some lady seeing me and asking for the time (clock like 3 feet away ) and a car full of ladies stopping so I could go by (even though I had let them go at first). Good stuff.

On the ground floor of my college, while waiting for an elevator I saw this semi-cute punk girl named Katie slide up next to me. She came in close from behind and stood just to the left of me. I made eye contact, smiled and started chatting her up. She wasn't a complete stranger because she's been in 2 classes of mine before, but I never really talked to her then. It's good practice for the real deal. This other guy in my animation class randomly asked me about something I was drawing and started a convo with me, which is surprising, seeing as how most people seem to intimidated with me to do so. I guess chatting with that UG in my class last week made me seem more approachable to the other kids.

 

[JDP]

Just wanted to echo the other thoughts about not being hard on yourself. Just the fact that you're out there doing it is huge. And when you think about the fact that you only have 2 convos or however many it was, there's a bunch of people like me who have none. But it's posts like yours and Walden's and others that are inspiring the rest of us to grab our balls as you said and get out there ourselves. Keep it up, man.

Week 2 Day 2 (Part 2)

Thanks JDP, I'll do my best.

Today I actually tried to be more involved with my classes and made an effort to speak alot (answering questions, asking questions, etc). I also gave a few unknown classmates eye contact and smiles and got them in return. I also found it easier to talk out loud in the crowded elevators about random stuff ( how crowded it is, how people still try to get on when they see it's full) and others actually chimed in. As long as there is an icebreaker, it doesn't seem like talking to strangers is too rough.

The biggest achievement was today on the metro. Near the end of the line (I get off at the last stop) this girl with orange running shorts came on. She was only a 5 or 6, but practice is practice. Anyway, she sat down and after she had a convo on her cell phone I managed to make eye contact. I got a smile (of course I smiled back) and I turned away for a second. I was trying to work up the nerve to talk to her, ask her if she went running or something else. Things that were running through my head-

" ask her if she went running "
" no that would sound stupid "

" just say hi "
" and then what? you'd just sit there like a fag"

Then this nasty thought crept into my head-

" ah well, later on today you can just analyze what you did wrong, why you choked and try harder next time "

"..."

"....but I don't want to analyze over chokes anymore. I want to analyze actual interactions. **** this pvssy sh!t, I gotta fall before I can fly"

And so I turned to her (she was starting to doze, I'm guessing she was bored) and here is how it went down-

Me: Tired? (smile)
Girl: (smile) Yea, a bit
Me: Did you have a busy day?
Girl: (laugh) No, the metro always makes me sleepy.
Me: Heh, yea the window to lean on and the sun coming through does that to me too
Girl: Yea and these seats and the air conditioning also, (laugh)

At that point, the last stop was announced by the metro operator. I looked up, then back at her. I wished her a nice day and went to my car. Not a 2 minute convo, but I think it's a good start. I choked once yesterday and didn't smile at this semi-cute girl earlier today so I need to start bringing those chokes down to 0.

I'm going to a club for the first time on Thursday night (friend's b-day) so hopefully I'll be able to work some magic there. Who knows.

Week 2 Day 3 (Part 2)

Multiple eye contacts and conversations with classmates today. This might seem like a retarded, slow version of the boot camp but I'm making progress (IMO) so I don't really care. If you want to look at some speedy second week lay reports you are going to have to go to the other boot camp journals

I initiated short convo's with 2 strange girls today. Only one was longer than 2 minutes, but I at least got a notch on my belt. We talked about her art style and the thing she wish she could do with it/ the things she already does with it. Sorry to make it sound so vague, but I don't want to bore you guys with art talk. Again, neither were hot but I think that if I can start with UG's, then I can work my way up to HB's.

I also proved for myself (finally) that if you talk to alot of people in class besides a HB, she'll end up wanting some attention too. I sort of proved this in my art histroy class last quarter (HB8), but I confirmed it finally in my Intro to 2D Animation class this quarter (HB7). I spent a good deal of time (more than I usually do) interacting with classmates and at the end of class, while we were waiting for the elevators, she slid up next to me in the hallway. I was chilling with my friend David but I decided to start an open-ended convo, and sure enough, she jumped right in. Not enough direct eye contact from her yet, but I can see her stare at me when I walk up to the front of the class or sometimes even when I'm sitting down (she seems to think I don't notice). Shy girls amuse me so

EDIT: I don't know if it's obvious or not but when I said I talked to alot of classmates, I meant that I ignored her for the most part. Even when this AFC that thinks he is slick came by and sucked up to her, I kept cool. I also decided to no longer compliment any hot girls unless they really deserve praise. Doing it just to start a convo or anything else just seems AFC-ish.

 

[JT47319]

I don't know why the fvck I didn't introduce myself, why I didn't ask her name, why I didn't even ask what book she was looking at but I basically just died right out there.

Generally, in an approach, by being the approacher, you've given the girl the IOI and are now waiting for her to give you an IOI so the attraction and interest level is BALANCED. In this particular case, it may have been warranted since SHE gave you IOIs and AIs first.

Still as an overall suggestion, don't introduce yourself or ask for her name. Both of them are IOIs and if they ask YOU, you know you have some sort of interest level going on.

Have a structure to your conversation. You're choking in your conversational interaction because you don't have know where it's leading. Don't FLUFF talk. PROGRESS THE SARGE. You open, you attract, demonstrate high value, story tell, kino, cold read, isolate, kino, wide rapport, kino, deep rapport, kiss, extract and fyck. Have topics in your mind tee'ed up. Have multiple conversational threads going on so if one thread dies, you can pick up another one without that long, awkward pause.

Think about your life and things you could tell a girl. Make emotional observations to pull her into the interaction. etc.

Week 2 Day 4 (Part 2)

School was a normal affair, nothing big. I talked out loud in my morning class and I took notice that others seemed to shift positions when I talked, as if they didn't want to miss anything that I said. I was tired as hell from taking my sister to the metro at 5 in the morning (also only got 3 hours of sleep) so during my film studies class I was zoning out and didn't talk much. The main part of this post is what happened tonight, when I went to a club for the first time.

The club I went to is called Dream, and it's in DC. It's a nice place, very clean and has mulitple levels for different kinds of music. I got there and met up with my buddies around 9:30 (there is a thursday night pass thing where you can get in for free before 10). Turns out you still had to pay 5 bucks instead of the 15 . It was worth it though, because the club was a good learning experience. Not only did I add 2 more notches onto my 10 count, I also danced with 7 girls, which I'll get into in a minute.

I went to the club because it is my buddy David's 20th birthday party, and I decided to have small convo's with 2 of his friends (both male). It wasn't even 10:20 yet, so the music was low enough to have brief convos. It's a good thing I introduced myself and talked to them, because later in the night, I met up again with one of them (he was with 3 girls) and basically I got in on some dancing action (gotta love networking). While at the club, I got plenty of glances and eye contacts from females, so I decided to go for broke and get to dancing. I danced with 3 black girls, 2 asian girls, 1 white girl and 1 indian girl (at least I think she was indian). Some simple notes on them-

Black girl 1- Nothing special here, pretty much average.

Black girl 2- Oh SWEET DAMN. What an ass. It was literally like someone shoved two christmas hams down the back of her pants and it felt GLORIOUS to have that sweet ass rubbing up against my cvck.

Asian girl 1- Wonderful moves, a small ass but she sure as hell knew how to work those hips. Lovely time spent with her, almost as good as Black girl 2 and 3.

Indian girl- She seemed kind of dead on the floor in the begining, and even when she was " into it", it didn't show as much as asian girl 1 or Black girl 2.

White girl- What can I say, she had no ass Seemed kind of tame also, like she wasn't that confident with her body. Oh well.

Asian girl 2- This girl walks near me and my friend David while we are chillin near the bar. Eye contact is made, I give her a smile. She turns (is like 2 feet away from me) and starts dancing, getting her girlfriend to dance with her. She is shaking that small asian ass, so I assume she wants me to dance with her. I go up behind her and start to dance and she turns around, looks at me like im crazy and drags her friend to the side. I laugh about it with David and see they are now like 3 feet away and she looks like she is flustered/" i couldn't believe that guy had the nerver to dance with me" type look on her face. Oh well, my boy and I had a good laugh about it- I had remembered to not take those attention hoes seriously.

Black girl 3- Great way to end the night, I actually danced well with her and left her hanging for more. Good god you should not leave a club until you dance with at least 2 black girls. The asses are amazing.


Anyway, I noticed that while I got plenty of " i want your cvck" stares, which lead into dances, that about a min and a half, 2 mins into the dance they move away. I don't know if this is normal in clubs, but I assumed it was because I suck at dancing.

With black girl 1 and asian girl 1, I tried Kinetic's oval dance movement, but the thing is I tried this while they were going side to side, back and forth. After they stopped dancing with me on their own I was like " wtf?" so I decided to use the other girls to evaluate and improve my dance technique. Indian and White girl taught me to not do the oval trick while they're going side to side and I started to pay more attention to the beat and less attention on " am i doing this right?". Asian girl 2 didn't last long enough to make any good notes but on black girl 3 I went for broke. At first I was just going to head home, but I decided that I wanted my last dance to end on a high note, and for once I wanted to be the one to walk away. White girl's friend pulled her away (she turned and smiled/said bye), and indian's friend did the same. Asian girl 2 was the only one to literally walk away, but I could sense when they stopped trying to dance with me. You just know. Anyway, with black girl 3 I only did the oval movement on slow parts of the song, and mirrored her side to side sh!t, while also finally using my knees and having fun. It was good and I noticed her getting into it, but I made sure to rub her side and leave first.

I also got my hands on the wait to hips on every single girl except asian girl 2, but I never got farther. I was too preoccupied with the other parts of dancing. I think with black girl 3 i finally relaxed, while the others I was worried/self concious that I suck at dancing. I don't think 7 dances with girls is too bad for a first night out at a club, but I could be wrong. At least I tried.

 

[Seraph]

Just another note

For the record I did try the " eye contact, come hither smile and curl your finger" technique, but I fvcked it up a bit. She got the DDB eyes but I started walking towards her when she didn't leave her group of friends. It was awkward when I got over there and didn't feel any dancing vibes coming from her, so I moved on.

Also, betas really can't survive in clubs. Guys will test the **** out of you unless you actually have your hands on the girl. Early into the night I was close by this girl, slightly dancing and thinking about moving direclty behind her when this guy came up and slid from the side of me to directly behind her and started to grind. I was basically like " wtf?" but I wasn't dancing with her so I just made sure to not let it happen again. I sure did see it happen to other poor suckers more than once. You're either alpha or you are against the wall. It's also a game of chance because when you even do the alpha thing and come up behind a girl and start dancing, she might not want to dance with you. I won't lie, that happened to me about 3 times or so but I wouldn't have gotten those 7 if I didn't try at least 10 girls. Hesitation will send you packing with regrets and a rosy palm. I at least didn't leave with any regrets besides wishing I knew how to dance. Practice is the key, but I don't know if I'm the club type of guy. I can see myself going to them once in awhile, maybe twice a month but I know it's not something I want to do every weekend. It's not even about the sucky dancing, it's just that I can't imagine myself in the loud, competative atmosphere every single weekend, or even every other weekend.

Week 2 Day 5 (Part 2)

I hung out with my friend today, since it was his last day before he went on vacation with his family. We went to a few different places and I got eye contact/smiles/brief 1 min. and under converations with strangers. Nothing too major, but I wasn't really trying after last night anyway.

 

[FreeStyleZ]

hey gj man with the boot camp, im not far from dream myself, ive never been there however... a few of my friends seem to think the place is ghetto and dont wanna go.

 

[Seraph]

Nah it's actually quite nice, just make sure to not park in an alleyway . I heard from a few of my friends that Platnium is just a big room, have you been there? How is it IYO?

 

[Seraph]

Week 2 Day 6 (Part 2)

Finally got my total count up to four, and oddly enough it was with a cashier in a food store. At first it seemed kind of odd to be talking to her about her day/job for longer than I did with the other lady, but after she was done with my items and checked out my friends items I just kept the convo going. She was a 5 or 6, but it's getting easier to talk to UG's out of nowhere. I probably won't hit the 10 count but at this point I don't really care. I think I've done alot this week, much more than I did last week and I'm proud of that fact.

 

[FreeStyleZ]

I havent gone there either, i didnt turn 18 till a year ago so i havent had a chance to go. Would be nice if i actually had wingmen to go with but alot of my friends arent into clubs.

 

[Seraph]

Week 2 Day 7 (Part 2)

Today I spent at home for the most part, except to go pick up my sister from her trip. Somewhere along the line I stopped being worried about hitting the 10 count, it just felt like I got far enough this week. Around 11pm-2am I had a great time drawing- something which I haven't actually done in quite awhile. I mean, I've been drawing but it's always been for school or something. Last night I drew to relax and enjoy myself, and I think that's when I do my best work. Anyway, this weeks goal is to approach and hold convo's with (10 I think?) women you would fvck. We'll see how that goes.

 

[SealTeamSix]

Here's some of my suggestion.

Seraph. Good going mate. Keep it up .. persistance is the name of the game.

Now for suggestion:

Although I have much respect for those who wrote DJ bible, following its boot camp step by step can be time consuming and tireing. Random hi's, EC .. is all good. but you do not need to do this systematically I found.

I do not try to make approaches systematic period. All woman are different and they respond to different things .. Try this.. next time you walk by girl or 2 or 3 .. about 5 meters distance bet. u and the girl, you look at her .. its ok whether she gives you EC or not, when she is at about 1m from u.. pull your hand and give hi-five. She returns you with hi five .. then you are in!! .. just grap her hand and start dancing with her reguardless of location.. you will give her such an unexpected event she will giggle the fucc out!...

All I am saying is .. try to limit systematic approach .. try different things. When you become systematic, you will act like robot, you will lose interest of doing PUs.

Also, try clubs. clubs are the ultimate battle field for DJs I think. You need to fight the ***** shield, you need to fight other DJs, worst of all you need to project!. If you can do PU at clubs, you can do it anywhere!

Do it with wingman. Find friends who you can hang with ease and does not conflict with your personality .. do PUs together.

AGAIN.. LOT of people here will disagree when i say this, but I preper wingman!. I need social proof. or fall back place. By no mean I am AFC ..nor Beta .. it just that having nice wings will give me ULTRA HIGH Confidance rather than just a confidance!

Lastly .. build team of woman(HB 6 or above) friends (which is my goal). Theory is the following. When you have team of female friends, they will be your unltra social proof. Girls wanna be with somebody, so they see you having fun with other girls, they will wanna be with you (been tested many times.) Also, by having many female friends, you can learn about female. They can help you with one itis problems too. So next time you see HB .. you do not always need to go for kill, just be her friend for greater profit if you know what i mean.

Week 3- Wednesday

Thanks for the tips. I decided to not post during the week unless I actually have somethign to post about (after all, why get your hopes up ~_^).

Talked to a HB today, her and her twin were in the elevator when my friend and I came from Starbucks. They knew him and so he said hi/ yadda yadda. I came in then and we basically talked about classes, registering for next quarter's classes and the like. It wasn't long (it was in an elevator after all) but you can still get a good amount of chatting in during the trip up 9 floors. I'm not sure yet if it's easier when I have a wingman there persay, this was my frist time other than the club where I've approached girls/initiated convo's with a friend so close by.

Also got a few hi's in and some smiles/eye contact. The smile is easy to do now (along with the eye contact), so now I just need to get used to saying Hi. I start work today, so we'll see how things go there. It's been a tad bit busy here but I'll make sure to drop more posts as the interactions keep coming. Only 2 chokes so far this week, which is better than the what, 6 last week? Wish me luck.
