Alright, bootcampers, it's time to get it started! Week 1 has officially begun. Make sure to complete the reading for week 1 in the bootcamp by tonight, which can be found here
Remember, the point of the first week is to make eye contact with 50 strangers and to hold it for longer than they hold yours. The second goal is to say "Hi" to 50 strangers. I recommend doing them in conjunction - once sufficient eye contact is made, a "Hi" is nice, but if you don't say hi at least smile. The point of this isn't to be staring people down off the street.
This 'outing' can be done anywhere. Instead of going to a club or a party, try going out to the downtown area, the mall, the shopping district, or any place where there will be people walking around. Remember, the point of this is to learn how to approach good looking girls anywhere you might see them, so you've got to go out there where you would normally not have met people and get going. Don't waver in your eye contact/hellos - give a blonde bombshell on the streets the same confident eyes you would a little kid or a grandmother.
If you find yourself in a conversation with one of these people, don't panic! You don't have to wait for the bootcamp to tell you what to do. If you are not typically outgoing, you'll likely get unexpected results - go with the flow!
You will notice a lot about interacting with people from completing these excercises. If you're nervous now, don't worry. You've still got 50 hello's to get comfortable by the idea. Trust me, long before you're done saying them you'll stop caring what people think.
Good luck on your journeys, and don't forget - you're a Don Juan. You know what you're doing.
