Summer Bootcamp week one

[JCballin88]

I'm getting there. Saying Hi to a lot of people. Made a few friends in my first class yesterday morning, including an HB8 who was sitting up front. I opened her after class, asking about where she went to get an interesting drink I saw she had at the beginning of class.

We talked all the way out the building and into the parking lot. Found out she teaches pre-school after I mentioned how I am working with 4th graders all summer. She looks a little bit older than me, and I didn't get a good look at her ring finger, but for all I know she could be engaged/married.

Other openings included 2 young ladies, a 5.5 and an HB9 playing tennis. I was working out just next to the wall and chatted with them for 3 minutes or so. I also stopped another attractive lady walking by on the sidewalk at school, asking her what was the deal with all the people walking around in yellow and red shirts. It turned out to be a photography class, and she was one of the instructors.

***Edit. Oh wow, did I ever mis-read the assignment!! I thought we had to go out and have conversations with 50 strangers! Geez...no wonder I was thinking that it was going to be really tough to meet the quota. Well, I've definitely said "hi" and made eye contact with at least 50...

Ok, first the responses then some more stuff on my general social interactions. 19 down, 31 to go, nothing but good reactions, I'm feeling a lot more confident in this regard. Next 31 should be doable by sunday. I met 5 older girls on tuesday morning (As in 2 AM), one of them kinda had a thing with my alpha male friend, they spent the whole time making out, one of the other girls had a boyfriend, got her number anyway, 2 of them I were fairly good looking but a tad empty headed, the last one was pretty good looking and seemed like a cool girl, so I got her number too. I don't think I'll pursue anything with her though. I go to Santa Barbara next thursday, any tips on picking up girls at beaches?

Am on 34/50 it's easy to get them at work. I work at a hospital and my job means i pretty much walk around all day and get to say hi to all the hot nurses. It's less easy in the streets when hardly anyone seems to want to make eye contact.

Will try get the rest tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone, keep busting them out!

I'm done for this week 50/50. I think i'll keep on greeting people to get the habit going, Going for some theorie this weekend when I have the time.

Ok guys, I don't want to get ahead of things, but since I had momentum on my side, I ended up #-closing a very cute HB7.5 tonight that I met in my business class.

During a 10-minute break we had in the class, I spun around and just started talking to her about random stuff. We talked the whole time and then had to cut it off while the teacher came back to wrap things up. I walked out to her car with her afterwards where I got the close. She's a couple years older than me, but she seems like she really appreciated me brightening up her day. Apparently she was engaged for a while, but it didn't work out, so she's single now. Hopefully I can build on this...

Ok I walked downtown tonight and did my 50 hellos. Some people are easier then others. Then it went downhill when i said hi to one of the bums and had him following me asking for money. oops. Much harder to make eye contact in that type of environemnt versus regular life; in fact I kinda think its not for me, and I should stick to doing things in the daytime.

 

[ariet]

I live in some asian neightbourhood and ppl arent really friendly and keep ignoring me like 60% of ppl

I dont think im doing much wrong just ppl are like this here

Alright
WEEK ONE COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50/50
Awesome job guys who finished especially jbcallin nice work.
And you guys who aren't too close to being done yet keep going you can get this done you wouldn't have signed up for this bootcamp if you didn't know deep down you wanted to and could complete it.

I don't drive yet got a ride during my mothers lunch break was at a real small mall for like 4 hours lol it was good though cuz I started slow but got momentum I got over 50. I like moon-wolfs idea will definetly continue with this it needs to become a habit and also puts you in a good mood. i felt great once I got #50 when you feel good and confident girls really pick up on it got loads of check outs from girls in passing cars and a lot of ec from girls. I am getting closer to approaches I am starting to get an urge to approach and want to. Which is great it's not look oohhh I should approach it's like I want to appraoch so I should be makeing some approaches real soon.

ALRIGHT CANT WAIT FOR WEEK 2!!!!!!! (still gonna keep workin this for the rest of the week though)

[Adam]

Started this a couple of days late but got a final count of 44/50. Pretty happy, my confidence generally has shot up in the last couple of days. Bring on week 2.

 

[Darles Chickens]

Boom!

I'm done 50/50 i finished this last night when i was out but only just been able to get to the computer and post this up.

There was a real mix of people for me and you find that alot of times people respond positively. It's always good when you get a good response from a HB and am going to carry on doing this throughout the boot camp just to keep my confidence up and maintain a healthy state and attitude. Congrats to everyone who completed. Bring on wk2!!

Good job guys.

Adam awesome that your confidence shot up mine did as well. But if you want to be offically part of this bootcamp (I have no problem with anyone posting results in these threads if they are not on the list) you need to get 6 more done to have all 50 by 12:00 am monday post in the week 2 thread to let me know if you get it done.

 

[Adam]

No worries, got a school trip to an unknown city monday. Big time.

Well fellas I just met up with that girl I #-closed Thursday night. I drove 30 minutes into town to her house, and from there we walked up to the beach to play some volleyball.

Now here, guys, is where the success of week 1(and the premise of 2) stuff came in HUGE. When I got to the beach, I heard someone say my name. I turned around, and was greeted by one of the guys that I had approached Friday after work. He was working out in the gym with me, and we had some small talk. I told him how I'm new to the area and am still trying to meet people and stuff.

So anyways he calls me over where he and his family (and 2 VERY hot daughters close to my age) were picnicking. Not only that, but they were also "guarding" the last available beach volleyball court.

So just because I took a chance and talked to this girl in class, we hit it off and JUST BECAUSE I happened to talk to this guy at the gym, I hung out with the girl and met the guy and his family there, and we all had a blast playing volleyball under the sun. It's amazing...simply from me having balls to approach (which I was always afraid to do), I had an amazing afternoon that I otherwise would have spent moping around the house.
