Here we go then.
First one – Real simple start, I held the door open for people at the end of a lecture, started by letting my mates out, then let a bunch of other people go through. Got eye contact with most and said hello/good lecture etc, then had a quick chat with a HB6 as she was last through the door before going back to my mates. Could have had all 7 there, but thought better and have only counted it as one.
Second One – Picking up an exam result at uni with a lady friend. While we are in the queue I just start talking to the only other person in the room waiting for a result, happens to be a HB. Asked her how she thought it went blah blah. Finished by wishing her luck with her result before me and my friend left.
Third One – On the bus I got talking to an elderly guy who happened to sit next to me. Had about a 5 minute chat about me being a student and his family before his stop came up.
Fourth One – On a night out and go to the bar for a drink. Get talking to a HB7 from Canada (pretty rare over here) and joke about how we have so much in common. That we were both in the same bar, getting the same drink, went to the same uni etc…Didn’t capitalise as I was in comfort mode being drunk and having a girl I know and had been making out with waiting for me on the dancefloor.
Fifth One – Same night out a little later at the bar again, this time with my wing. Girl next to me seems a little down, so I casually open with ‘What’s up?’ and a smile. She smiles back and tells me her night isn’t going too well. I pick up on her American accent (A Canadian and an American on the same night, very rare) and comment on it, ask her where abouts it America she is from, and just get very chatty with her. I manage to put a smile back on her face and tell her her night wasn’t a complete waste and that she got to meet me
she laughs and agrees and then I leave because I’ve got my drink.
Sixth One – Gave a guy who looked a little lost on campus directions after asking if he was having trouble. Campus had an open day for prospective students so I was a bit more aware that some people didn’t know their way around. He was looking for the food hall, and was appreciative of me helping him out.
Seventh One – Went out again last night, and after hitting the club I heard of a house party going on nearby, sent a girl I know, who was at the party a text, asking her where it was and if me and a friend could come over, she said sure. When we got their it was fancy dress and my friend and I were just in normal clothes (Shirt and Jeans). Anyway I went straight up to the first girl I saw in a good fancy dress and guessed what character she was, then had a chat with her about god knows what, but I did find out that it was her house, and that it was her housemates birthday, hence the party. Me and my friend ended up staying until the end of the party at around 4 and spoke to pretty much everybody in the place. Was a blast.
There were some other conversation’s here and there, but they weren’t necessarily ones where I approached directly. Still felt good to do them, but I didn’t want to count them.
Anyways that’s me done fella’s, see you in the next round.
