Yet Another Boot Camp Journal

So her is my official commitment to attend and to successfully complete boot camp training!

As many others I have been inspired and motivated by Walden’s progress and success.

After I got to know this site I sat down a bunch of hours and thought about my past behaviour towards women and how I was a complete AFC. Yeah, I sucked. But now I’m on RAFC level and finally I’m ready to start.

So I’m looking forward to improve myself from RAFC to a DJ.

Well, gentlemen. Here is my journal, and hopefully you lot can help me with your advice and give me some tips.

P.S.: Since I’m foreign my English might suck from time to time but I hope it’s nevertheless understandable.

Week 1 Day 2

Let the games begin, it’s DAY TWO on!

After having my hair cut and myself tanned I went downtown to start exercise one.

While I was prowling through the city and did some shopping I tried to establih and hold eye contact. At first it was kinda awkward, I felt like stalking these people, but then suddenly I was feeling more and more confident.

I noticed throughout this exercise something peculiar. Some people held EC from far, but as we were approaching each other they looked downwards ‘till passing then they gave a short glance and looked again down to the ground.

Especially girls! Even the HB8-9s. It was very, very, very damn hard to get EC with the hot ones.

Alors, then I tried to roll in with exercise two, but I just coudn't smile and say hi. It was freaking me out... then a guy (wonder why, maybe I appeared kinda queer to him) ECed me and said hi, which gave me enough confidence to try it on some girls. Summed up:

1h EC

5 His (not included the His female shopassitants since it's their job to be polite, though it's almost a wonder if one gets a friendly shopassistant).

Things I'll improve: I'll try to say Hi to anyone anytime anywhere after ECing and go on with ECing that way I did.

Week 1 Day 3

Hey ya, so it has been day three so far.

Had a lot of studying and work to do so no chance of going to the mall/downtown/another city etc. but

I went to a party with a friend- I didnt know anyone. I ECed every1 but for god's sake few would answer or even hold it for a sec.

I started some convos with strangers, it aint that difficult but feels kinda weired at the beginning... I learned what is necessary to become a bouncer (was funny to talk to him he was foreign and his accent was so cruel i hardly understood what he said

So... I won't count the Hi's and ECs from the party coz 1. not many girls and 2. it's -sounds strange- but to easy in some way.

remember, when you keep the eyecontact, you got to smile. Not too much, just a litle grin.

otherwise they think your a creep

Week 1 Day 4

So ... havent been up to much lately. Studying and since everythings closed on sundays out here there wasnt a real chance to go somewhere to get the remaining Hi's.

@spider: I always try to deliver a small smile, but its kinda hard to get the right mixture between a creepy/needy/whatever unpleasent or negative smile and a faint smile!

Yet I guess I found the right mixture (I practiced in front of a mirror) but I'll try it out tomorrow.

btw thx for answering i thought no one is interested since there have been so much journals on here...

I also experienced that I'm still not that secure in talking to HB, I'll have to practice that as well.

In addition to that the EC-thing is like autosuggestion. It says like Hey look here im confident to others and I start believing it myself!

So ... I'm motivated as hell to keep the BC going and I'll get in the field tomorrow to get the remaining Hi'S!
