Don Juan Bootcamp

[BYOB]

OKay I don't know why, but I have been feeling like utter **** for the past few days!
Just down emotionally and The reason escapes me! I do my best not to show it, but everyone notices something is wrong when I'm not craking jokes as often and when i'm a little more quiet. It like my wit just disapeared... Regardless of this I talked to an older, but cute woman on the bus. We talked about going to school, passions, dreams, etc, etc... Overall it went well, it was shaky at the start, but she was really receptive so that helped. I felt slightly better afterwards, but then an hour later or so I was down again. So I went to my friends house and I tried talking to an old person, but I didn't know what to say to him lol. Anyways on friday I finished all my hi's, I just went grocery shopping with my parents and done! Though I still need one more hi for school to finish week 1:cuss:

BTW* Note to everyone* When you feel down and just can't be enthousiastic, its best not to approach anyone you are interested in! It deosn't end well usually and you tend to suck the energy from the people around you when you have none!

Hey E-sex its not too late at all. I too am a high school senior and you should read all the posts in this thread (if you haven't already.)

Alright, cool. Ive done some reading of the DJ bible and downloaded the bootcamp and all that. I'm prepared to start my week 1 day 1 tomorrow.

Yesterday night me and my friend hung out with two HB8's from a school like 20 minutes away. I fully tried to use C&F and establish kino with the one that I believed was the hotter of the two, but I still need some more practice. After talking to that one later in the night, I found out that her friend found me to be arrogant, and was turned off by that. That's probably a sign that I need to completely town down the C&F. I know it can be a powerful tool but only if its used lightly. Too much isn't a good thing. However, I got two girls outside of my school in which brings my total to one more than I needed to have.

Alright so the day after bootcamp started I went Frisbee golfing with 2 of my friends. We were golfing and were looking for my friends frisbee in the parking lot when these two older men walked by, like 50 years old. I started talking to them and found out that they have been going to the course every day for 50 years. We ended up golfing with them and I enjoyed talking and laughing with them. (and guess what, one of them was black! haha.)

Last night I was hanging out with some friends and we crashed this one girls bon fire. I knew most people there and there was an HB8 who is a year younger than me that I approached and said hello to and got her name last week in week #1. I got to the fire and everyone was like "SPEAK!" and the quarterback and all the football team was hugging me and high fiving me and what not. (great social proof.) Anyway I was doin my own thing talking to all my buds and a few girls, and finally went over to the other side of the fire to talk to this girl. I did some great push/pull with her and then went and jumped on the trampoline with my 2 buds and her 2 friends. I got some good kino in and teased her a lot haha. As I was saying goodbye to everyone, I saw her staring at me and I went and gave her a hug and in a playful tone was like, "goodbye sweetheart." Haha, so crossed off a few for Week #2.

At soccer I had a good conversation with one of the refs. Although he was a cool guy he sucked at reffing.
I crashed this party and people didnt think I was going so everyone was happy to see me. Yeah so i was talking to a few girls older than me. I didnt try anything because I just want to focus on the bootcamp

Week 1 Day 1

So today I went to church and to target and I didn't see a single cute girl all day lol. But I managed to scratch 11 strangers off of my list, but I'm hoping for more of a challenge because the old ladies and average joes are easy to eye contact+hello.

20 strangers in school: 0

30 strangers outside school: 11

Good luck! You'll have to work

I'm having a hard time finding a place to go for some of these people, where do you guys go in search of people?

Well, the best place that I know of so far is the public transit system. For where I live that means Trax (train) and the buss. I actually live near a gas station, so I'm going to hit it up for my gas station worker one, but I'm also going to go a little out of my way to take the buss, to see if there's anyone who I can get on there. Because there usually is.
The grocery store is also a good place, and though I have yet to try it, I'm guessing that the park is good as well.

 

[SPEAK]

where do you guys go in search of people?

I just see people throughout my day, you know. But on thursday I am going to sell tickets in the college town so I will get all my conversations then. Especially with the homeless and hot ass girl crowd.

WEEK 2 Day 4

Well, unfortunately nothing special has happened in terms of the boot camp since day 1 of the week.

I decided to utilize some spare time that I had tonight and go down to the 7-11 and talk up the clerk. And well, it didn't go as great as planned. There was an Indian guy working there so he didn't speak that great of english but we talked for about a minute or so and then he had to get to the guy behind me. Anyways, I'm counting it as half.


Totals
* 2 Elderly people
* 1 Delivery person (mail,ups,pizza)
* 1 Gas station worker - Half
* 1 couple (Couple counts as 1 person)
* 1 Black Person
* 1 Homeless person
* 1 cute girl (outside of school)
* 2 cute girls (In your school)
* 2 convos with whatever strangers you want! - One

i too had a convo with an indian gas station guy today. same problem, but i didnt count it as a half. Its OVER 2 mins or nothing.

I guess I'm lucky, the guy who works at the gas station that I fill up at is asian and I've chatted with him many times before. Maybe its because I'm asian as well, since we're on friendly terms to where he'll let me get a cappucino for free. Indian gas station workers on the other hand seem to be more into getting you in and out as soon as possible, to maximize efficiency.

Hey thats awesome man, its good that you are working on being more outgoing! But the point of this exercise is to get you out of your comfort zone, and therefor you must go find STRANGERS. People you have never seen before, and have conversations with them!
