Maybe it's just me, but what are your thoughts on calculating your DJing? Naturally, I don't mean sitting at home in front of your mirror and rehearsing a speech you'll give to your targets, but I have a tendency of planning and setting up situations. Example:
-There's a girl I know in debate. I know from an earlier conversation that she loves ice cream. I also know there's a new ice cream machine (you know, ice cream sandwiches, those strawberry shortcake sticks, etc.). So, I buy ice cream, making sure that it's generic, since she may not like a certain flavor. I walk into the debate room, making sure to eat it as ostentatiously as possible. Sure enough, she notices and asks where I got it, since the cafeteria is closed. I say there's a new machine up. She says, "really, where?" I volunteer to lead her to it, and start a convo while we walk to the machine.
This is a true story. I've done things like this since I've started liking girls (5 years old? lol), but I always have the nagging thought that it's not only manipulative, but pretty risky. After all, you may set something up, and it doesn't work, when you could have easily walked up to them and started a convo that way.
Thoughts.
