High School Don Juan Bootcamp: Week 1 - Hit The Ground Running

[Rising765]

I am dedicated to do this. Ok as I want to make this more of report instead of a diary, I will keep it short and simple and try to bring some structure into it so you can see the development with a quick look. I am quite new to this forum and not familiar if people still do reports of the bootcamp and/or about the success rate with the participants. You can enlighten me guys.

Day 1 16/50 "Hi"s + 1,5 hours doing so in town

Insights: It seems so that for 70% of the people evasion of eye-contact becomes top priority while being outside. They don't even look into each others eyes when they talk to each other. None, except one replied with a "Hi". I believe this will improve my confidence as long as continue doing so. I will use the public transportation tomorrow since doing the task is rather hard on a bike doing 15 mph.

Also am I here right if I am a 20 year old college student or should I go to another area?

Day 2 27/50 "Hi"s

at a party I did only approach one woman and as she seemed initially interested, she lost interest as I danced with her. Probably because I did not radiate confidence. Some small talk with cute and hot chicks but nothing to build attraction. Got sometimes ****y and sometimes funny but seperate from each other so I believe this will rather get negative responses.

Day 3 28/50 "Hi"s

Day 4 29/50 "Hi"s

Day 5 29/50 "Hi"s

Day 6 30/50 "Hi"s

Day 3-5 I was at my parents house, but I could have been more active.

Day 7 50/50

could have ended it way earlier. Need to stay focused as I believe the next weeks will be way harsher on me. It is tricky to say "hi" to everyone with no eye-contact. And when you engage into eye-contact they mostly just look away. So I prefer to look away and in talking distance look at them and say casually hi.

I thought this would be a very easy week and I could just pass through but actually it is hard the first few "hi"s and I never practiced day game ever, so it changed my daily attitude.

The weekend I went out with friends and 2 girls seemed interested. The one lost interest as I danced with her smiling the entire time. I thought showing affection to a person who shows interest progresses both further, but she just lost interest. The other chick seemed very into me but I didn't know how to get it further going except to respond to her advances positively.

I am excited what the next week will be about.

Week 2 Day 1

okay, didn't actually think about beginning immediately but I had 2 conversations (1 I don't count as it was with a shopkeeper) with strangers. 1 girl in the train and another on the way back from the train. I got a bit of negative vibes I must say since I didn't apply any raportish stuff. I just talked about stuff I wanted and didn't care too much about a outcome (this makes it easier).

The second conversation was with 2 girls on the train back (great location probably as they mostly have to talk to you but getting the number might be hard in the future as if timing is bad she has to get off before giving me the number) about their studies and stuff. I just need to become smoother at this. training training training and maybe a bit reading.

I think, I might let the posts. Noone seems to do these anyway and I will participate in the bootcamp for myself.

Also the spirit of the Don Juan Bible seems to lack in this forum massively. People ask for advice in particular situations. That seems odd and contradicting the whole point of a DJ spirit.

It's not about the women. It's about oneself. I might not yet have aquired this mindset and not yet have aquired the confidence and natural flirting of a real Don Juan but this forum does not seem to act like it's bible proposes to them.

We're reading, buddy. The bootcamp is very easy to drop out of at week 3. Just keep it going at your own pace. It's more important to do it than to do it in time. Keep us posted.

The spirit is very much alive in this subforum. If you read the journals especially.

You should continue posting, im starting the bootcamp this week and this actually helped me get in the mindset. Maybe we can work together and kind of guide each other as we complete the challenges?

Week 2 finished

Ok, I was the last few days around with 1 to 2 approaches each day (allways no context) but yesterday I thought to myself I should have an approach evening. I drank a bit and went with only one friend to a club. He was also interested into picking up women and we were each others wingman. I approached a bit and then more and more. At one point I didn't care about the outcome anymore and had a really great time approaching. I laughed my ass off when they screamed to get off or they made a funny face.

I hoped to approach 2-3 girls but actually I approached around 15. After the first few rejections it went so smoothly. I just needed to get the few rejections in the first 30 minutes and then I was in ubber mode of confidence (9 of 10). The only limiting factor were the number of hot girls to approach. At the end it never went above flirting and I didn't get phone numbers since their gf often were ****blocking massively even with a wingman (not best one) or had a bf (one bf actually watched pretty angry as I was flirting with his girl; a 200 pounds muscle russian; I just laughed and joked with him as he came over). I am proud of myself and it gave me a massiv confidence boost. Nightgame is fun but it has a lot of negative aspects: ****blockers to the sky, many rivals, more *****es, more attention seekers, hard to be witty or have a conversation.

Nonetheless, I had a great time and finished my week goal. I am looking forward to the next weeks, as I began a bit of flirting and even got some numbers until now and I know it's not that hard.

Week 3 Day 0

Tomorrow I will begin week 3. It should pretty much be like my second week as I only counted the conversations I had with women. I will need to take more focus on a continuous 2 min conversation instead on the ones when I constantly pause and the ball drops. The only difference is to last week, that the women I approach now have a requirement of minimum attractivness. It might be a bit harder but that's exactly what I am better around unattractive women and just this delusional picture of beautiful women being harder is totally wrong.

I intelectually grasped the concept but still need to apply it to make a difference.

The only limiting factor were the number of hot girls to approach.

You are still doing very good. Keep it up.

This may or may not apply to you directly but I thought you mind find it interesting nonetheless. A friend of mine had a lot of difficulty socializing with people, especially women. He became a volunteer for some organization and they sent him around house to house having to talk to people. Today, he is one of the best speakers I know because he is confident and comfortable when talking to others.
