"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Week 4, Day 1

Went out into town with the aim of getting two rejections. For a couple of minutes I hovered around potential approaches, but I couldn't get my body to move! Usual story. After about ten minutes I sat in a bookshop, gathered myself and got up again. Before I would walk around for HOURS, so this is an improvement.

1: Approached a girl looking at CDs, made a comment about the CD she was listening to, went from there. Not a bad one, I found out she was visiting town to see her sister. Showed her a couple of CDs she should listen to, talked to her for about two minutes. When I number closed her, she said she had a boyfriend - 'When is the wedding?' 'No, it's not that serious'. It came down to her wanting my number so she could have a back-up guy on call... No ****in' way! I ended it there.

2: Spoke to a girl working in a clothes shop. Asked her about the jeans she had on offer, what was so great about them, how she liked working there, where she studied, etc. Didn't like her very much. Closed her for the hell of it, she didn't buy.

I'm enjoying the experience of the bootcamp so far. I find that as with other things the hardest part is making that initial approach every day, getting started.

Completed - 2/10.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I think this bootcamp is the only one that has been tried in the UK. Any UK DJs out there got any special advice on playing this stuff? The advice I have gotten from here is:

* Cold approaches are a waste of time
* Clubs are easy ground for all closes
* People generally do meet-ups in bars and cold approaching is virtually unknown.

Hey,
Well I'm embroiled in Week 5 of bootcamp and having mixed results. Seeing as nobody expressed much interest in this thread I'm not going to be posting my results regularly, as I feel that the best thing for me at this point in my life is to LEAVE this damned website, for at least a year.

Later,
Sal
