"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

OK, here we go - first post. I have been reading the DJ Bible for the last couple of weeks and have decided to go for it and jump in two footed. I am your typical AFC with very limited success with women but all that's gonna change. I'm gonna log my boot camp experiences here for both my benefit and hopefully for other's too.

A few things about me:

I AM AN AFC. I ADMIT IT, BUT THAT'S GONNA CHANGE.
I'm 24 and live in the UK.
Up to now the woman's always been on the pedestal.
I am the nice guy that women open their heart up to.
I read on this site that people who are quite intelligent over analyse things and end up ****ing things up. That is me to a tee so bear with me!
I'm not starting at the absolute beginning - even I knew that this was doomed from the start!

I read somewhere that it's best to start each week of the boot camp on a Thursday, to give you the weekend to put each week's exercises into action so I'll be reading up tomorrow and getting down to action in a couple of days with week 1.

As much constructive critisism as possible please....

I'll keep you posted.....

We used to have a lot of bootcamp journals here and people complained about them. They might even be against the rules now.

My suggestion is that we keep bootcamp journals offline until week 4 (if anyone makes it that far). Then upload everything into one post and look for responses.

Either way, good luck with the bootcamp!

sorry didnt realise. didnt see anything about that but makes sense as i suppose most people don't make it that far. or they make it so far and give up thinking they've cracked it with all their new found confidence.

makes sense not posting till week 4. i'll be back :D

Actually post your field experience in the Bootcamp threads already flooding around. Bookcamp Week #1 is sticky at the top of the forum. The others you can do a search for them to and add it on there. Good luck!
