AP Journal: I know you!

[Skyline]

It's late at night and hopefully i wont regret this in the morning. This is an approach journal and im a Senior im high school. I stated previously that i have been focusing on myself and not really approaching as much as i was earlier this year. I feel that i know enough now and its time to put all of it into action.

My goal for this Journal is to approach every girl i deem remotely attractive, ask for her name and maybe even number. Escalation of the new girls will happen after. The point is to get rid of AA, as im near perfect in all other aspects.

I want to approach so many girls that i cant think of anyone that i havent approached. For every girl i approach, if i got a positive response, i will greet them by name whenever i see them for an extra step outside of my comfort zone.

The drawbacks: Could be labeled as the creep who tries to be friendly with everyone.

The counter to that drawback: If i'm truly egoless, i wont care.

My approach quota will be 1 per day and anyone i meet through friends do not count. I will list the persons name, convo, and final thoughts in each update.

Stay tuned!

Approach #1

Went along with my friend to his 1st hour before class started. Pretty much all guys then a girl came in when it was time to go. She sat down i walked up asked for her name, she grinned, told her mine, then left.

HB6: Maya

I need to improve on making more small talk and using surroundings.

Approach #2

Saw her while going to my next class. Tapped her shoulder asked for her name and said mine. Some small talk ensues.

HB:6.5 Elizabeth

No thoughts.

Approach #3

Same day as #2, was having a class celebration and this girl brought some snacks. Asked for her name and then helped myself.

HB:7 Mariah

Perhaps small talk in the future, not really making any use of this one to be honest. And thinking about raising the quota to 2 a day.

Approach #4

Needed an assignment so i asked this girl who had the same teacher and got it. Snapped a picture, told her MY name, and she told me hers.

Hb:7.5 Keanna

Great on using surroundings etc.

Approach #5

Was waiting in line for lunch and she was behind me. I looked back and asked for her name. Had a conversation about school in general.

HB:7.5 Gabriel

Great use on small talk but I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't number close.

Details, you need to include more details.

Details, you need to include more details.

Alright. 4/5 of this weeks interactions were brief. There really wasn 't much to say but i'll include as much detail as i can from this point on. Its a work in progress, i'll eventually be filling up a paragraph or two per person.

I'm a lot more comfortable approaching outside of school, so this is different!

Approach #6

This is probably my most awkward one so far. So to start off i realized i was in a bad mood earlier in the day. By the time noon rolls around, im still in that rut. But i remember i HAVE to approach at least one person and my mood isnt going to stop it.

So i see this girl that i danced with at a dance and even tried kissing her, but met an anti slvt defense that i could have passed but i was really just enjoying myself, she was sitting down with her friends (4-5 people). Now i had a policy not to approach more than 2 people but...

I walk up to her and sit there while her other friends notice. Her back was turned to me and i really dont think she noticed. Now the opener i used is controversial and i wasnt really thinking... I might have set something sleazy for the future or shot my chances.

I told all her friends that i tried kissing her at a dance and she verified it. It went quiet after and luckily a kid we both knew came for a few seconds then left. I then felt the atmosphere and asked for her name and left.

HB:7 Alexis

If anything Im in a better mood now! And im 90% sure she has a boyfriend.

I havent updated this in a while mainly because i was sick the week after the last update. I kind of forgot anout this but i have not stopped approaching. I met around 4 people since or something.

Approach #7

This one happened today actually. We were in math class and had the joy of watching a Nova special about a guy in Princeton solving a famous formula. I switched seats to get a better view and it was near this girl. After a while of watching the movie, my friend in front of me pulled out his phone and showed the girl next to him a snapchat.

I spoke up and told him to give me his snapchat name, but the girl responded instead:

Me: "Hey whats your snapchat?"

Friend doesnt hear or somethig. Girl turns my way almost immediately instead.

Her: "Do i have one?"

I was surprised she misheard me so I kind of just agreed with her and asked for hers instead. I handed her my phone and her other friend, who was looking back and forth at me and her, huddled around it.

Hb:7.5 Hanna

Approach #8

I was on the bus sitting down and a stop came by and everyone got up and left. I was sitting on the 3 seated ones facing sideways, and the person got up next to me and left. So it left a gap between me and this girl so I decided to strike up some conversation.

I say Hey she says Hey asked for her name etc. My stop comes and I tell her later.

I still sometimes chit chat with her.

HB:6.5 Kylie (IOI's)

Approach #9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

All of these approaches happened at the same area, but different times. In fact, I think I created a small little group. A lot of kids wait around the bus stop, and I casually bring up a conversation to one of them. Me having some social momentum from the class prior, I ended up bringing a few people into our fun conversation.

HB6: Asia (IOI's)

A Dude: Noah

HB:7 Mallory (?)

HB:4.5 forgot her name... I don't think she ever told me anyway. (IOI's)

HB:6 Never told me her name(or i forgot) and vice versa, but we still greet/talk to each other. (IOI's)
