Another bootcamp thread!!!

[Doomsday Warrior]

Hey what’s up guys I’ve been lurking around here for a few months now and just been digesting as much information as possible. I know that there are a bunch of other boot camps out here, but I feel that this will be the best way to break out of my shell. I’ve attempted this in the past and have not had much success, but this time I am more motivated than I have ever been. I am getting other areas of my life(school, work, fitness, etc) handled and this area is a huge part for me.

I plan on going way out of my comfort zone, and no matter the outcome, I know that I will improve and learn so much. I have read all of the articles for week 1 and feel that I am ready to get this boot camp started. I will be starting Tuesday and will aim to get out and do the exercises for atleast an hour or more every day.

Age: 20
Status: I have had moderate success with girls in the past but my biggest problem is that I just have never really tried that hard to meet new women. So this boot camp should help out a lot in changing that.
Goals: Overcome fear of approaching, gain confidence, and of course to FINISH THIS whether it takes 8 weeks or more.

So thanks for reading guys and I’ll try to update this post as much as possible.

Welcome to the bootcamp bud. Remember that if u fail a week, do it over again(Except if u almost complete Week1 as the other ones will matter more).... And if u can't finish week 1 fully, still move on to Week 2 but that's really only if u think all 50 of those hi's aren't needed.
I await ur progress!

Week 1 Day 1

Hey thanks for the comments Jose, just read your Bootcamp journal, awesome work so far, I hope to be at your level at some point.

Well I got up today and there was a lot of snow outside, so immediately that was the first excuse my mind gave me to not go out and get started. But I said screw it and got up and went to the gym. I tried to practice the EC there before I hit Walmart later on and I got in 2 hi's at the gym, one of which was a hot girl coming out of the locker room.

Afterwards I went to Walmart to work on the EC and get in a few more hi's. Making eye contact with people for longer periods of time is definitely more difficult than I thought it would be. But once I did the exercise for an hour, I was definitely much better at it and felt much more confident. I also got in 5 more hi's there and one older lady after I asked her "how she was doing" in the shoe section, I ended up talking to her for like 5 minutes and she wanted me to try on some shoes because she thought my feet might be the same size feet as her son's.

Week 1 Day 2-5

Alright, haven't had much time to post on here with updates, been pretty busy, but been out there doing the bootcamp.

Day 2

Was glad the snow finally went away, went to the mall for the second hour of eye contact and felt much more natural and confident with that. Got in 8 hi's on Day 2.

Day 3

Didn't go anyplace specifically for the bootcamp on Day 3, but got in 6 his altogether.

Day 4

Went to a buncha different places(mall, bookstore, gym, school) and got in 14 his and it's starting to feel much easier and like something I just do now, so it's helping a lot.

Day 5

Got out quite a bit again today and got in 7 his today. I don't know, I was feeling real sluggish when I got up and didn't wanna get out and do it, but I just pushed myself and was happy with the results. So here's my Week 1 totals so far.
