"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!

After trying to do the christmas bootcamp and getting stuck in week 2, I've decided to start again with this new year.

I don't know if this time I'm going to make it through all 8 weeks, nor 3, nor 1, all I know is that TODAY, right NOW, I'm doing the what I have to do for this week, and I'll try to keep this mentality through the whole the process.

Anybody who would like to join me is welcomed to post here as well.

It's 2 AM (here), Friday, January 2 of 2009, week one starts today.

New year, new life.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Done with week 1!

Got like 40+ on Tuesday, I went to this beach city (don't now if it's the right translation, it's this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punta_del_Este) for the day with some friends, and man.. I never saw so many HBs in a day in my life! 95% of the hi's were to them. Doing the BC would be much easier if I could spent the summer there, oh well...

I even made my first cold aproach ever!! I think it was an HB9, the four of us were sitting on a side walk right in front of the beach, and there was this hot blonde like 60 mts away eating an icecream and waiting for the bus I think, and one of my friends made a bet with me that he would give me his medal (we went there to run this 10k race) if I aproached her and leave with a kiss on the cheek. So I went and explained it to her like I'm doing with you, total honesty, and she said no problem! muack, thanks! bye!

It may not seem like much but it's some progress to me :)

Bring on week 2!


Thanks Impact! and congratulations on completing week 4!
