Hey all, i just recently decided to take on the bootcamp since I've never done it and Im working on my 50 hellos. What I've noticed is some girls don't say hello back. I tracked my stats 6 girls said hello back to me, 13 didn't respond in any way. Do those 13 still count towards the 50?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Nothing in the bootcamp is really set in stone. What I did with the hellos is I made *any* hello I initiated count. Anytime I said hello regardless of the response, I was putting effort into improving myself.
Another thing I did which I saw in another bootcamp was I didn't include people who work with the public (cashiers, salespeople, etc). Basically, these people's jobs include interacting and greeting strangers. You pretty much expect them to respond rather than the typical stranger.
There's two things that the first week helps you overcome: shyness when it comes to approaching strangers and rejection. Some grumpy bytch didn't say hello. So what? Everytime I didn't get a response, I laughed. It's just funny when people are so unconfident and unfriendly to bother responding to you.

Its really up to you. In my case i didnt count some hellos because i said them halfassed or sounded too weak, so the person didnt hear me. However, if i said them with confidence and with a strong voice and the person didnt say hello back then that counted. Remember thats its not about their reaction, its about how you feel about it.
