nougat's bootcamp- come in beginners

[nougat]

Hey hey, Ive read many many posts and I can see just how good this stuff is! But what use is it if I haven't the confidence or conversation skills to initiate it? You can sit here being held back by the butterflies rampaging in your stomache or you can set off on a life changing quest to will them away, thats how I feel right now. I can see it being very hard and I know that I will falter many a time but you guys are a great motivation, thanks for that.

So recruiting time! Who's in to start this from the beginning? Essentially this is a novice bootcamp but if your already a DJ come in, join us and share your wisdom!

[specialed]

I'm in...but going to skip all the Hi's and what not that first weeks usually consist of. I work at Home Depot and i say Hi to everyone i walk by, heh...and it just comes naturually in real life as well usually.

Hey hey, im happy to start today. Went to that party but I already knew everyone there so overall I couldn't do any "offical hellos". So haven't got anything done yet unfortunately, in context to the bootcamp that is...

Im not sure whats going to happen today personally it's already two in the afternoon and it seems that a "family activity" is being arranged so I can't see how I could go out and do this thing... I'll have to find a way of getting round this problem.

specialised maybe you should just do the hellos anyway but increase the quota by a lot, up to you.

edit- It seems my family is intent in keeping me at home to take part in their activities it sounds sort of fun but it means I fall behind on the bootcamp, I don't know how to deal with it. Tommorow im going to the nearby city to clothes shop so ill get a chance then. Im thinking of decreasing my quota and doing it for 2 weeks instead because of my situation.

 

[mopetecan]

well i tried to start today.....got rear ended and ****in spent all day in the cop shop dealing with it. 0 convos. tommorrow is a new day.

 

[DoN_KaTRiN]

yo count me in

 

[avrilishot]

hey count me in

 

[nougat]

Ok I think...we should all start today monday 8th. Alrighty, today im going to make eye contact with everyone I can in the shops and say hi 10 times, 5 times minimum. Ok guys lets brainstorm places to go say "Hi" :
> Any shops, big supermarkets are best
> On the street of the town/city
> Parks

 

[nougat]

Thanks for the wisdom Shezzler.
I forgot about the 3 second rule today, that might had helped. Unfortunately, too many moving targets when shopping so it was hard to establish eye contact so, I didn't get ANY "hi"s, disappointing to say the least. But well at least im getting into the mood, ill keep trying whatever happens.

 

[specialed]

I don't know if this counts but i'll say it anyways.

I've always talked kind of dirty with this one girl at my work. Tonight i felt like doing something about it.

I called her up and we set up for me to come to her place after i was done, that i did. I made a lot of EC and kino, that alone got me where i wanted. We "cuddled" and touchy feely and left with a kiss, which she is ****ing awsome at. Left with a, "call me" and just went to my car.

Hope that made sense, sort of vague but you get the idea i think.

Week 1, Day 1

Probably got 15+ "Hi"s in today. I've been making it a point to make ec with everyone at work and say hi if they seem receptive. Also for lunch i had a decent conversation with the lady who made me my sandwich.

The EC and saying hi part is easy now, i just gotta start the approaches.

 

[nougat]

I got one really crap hi today at the end of the day, was out cycling with the family and I just said hey there to some guy but I didn't show any eye contact so was really crap tbh. But it doesn't matter, im getting into this now and I feel improvements already, im just going to keep up this until I get 50 hi! s, If I got over a week ill keep trying anyway. No rush.

Week 1, Day 2

Week 1, Day 2 (cont.)
Said hi to a few people at the gym and when i went to get food. But i got a call from a friend who told me of a party for a friend's bday tonight. So i rolled over there after eating and getting ready.

By the way soory if this doesn't make too much sence it's because im high and drunk.... god danm.

Anyways, not really any girls i didn't already know but i did chop it up with a few of my hoes and practiced some C&F.
HB7:Gosh you're so cute.
Me: Ya i know.
HB7: Lets go inside bla bla bla"
Me: You go, ill come find you when im done talking to these other girls *grin*.

So it went like that for a little while talked to some of my other girls but i didn't realy stay for too long. Not a bad tuesday night.

His: 24
