I didn't take any action on monday. And I didn't finish simple 30. The 30 days are over, but even if I'm glad for being more consistent than in the past, I'm still a bit disappointed with myself because I know I could do better. If I want to change quickly for the best, I must go 100% head on. Many times I was still hesitant, still doubtful, but I've learnt a lot. Which is why I'll keep trying until I break this mental barrier. But first, I have finals to take. |

| I've almost been spending more time writing shit than doing shit. And I failed this week because I didn't do shit tuesday. Working for the retake of my finals, less time for the challenges, still trying when I can though. | |

-Day 12: Don't go more than 30 sec without talking to a girl, approach 10 girls in a row. If I go over 30 sec, reset the counter to 0. Bonus: Ask for their number each time. -- Funny how I did something similar last night. But it's sunday, I don't know if there will be much girls on the streets, but I'll try. If there isn't enough, I'll repeat one of the previous challenge. |

I was apprehensive, but this night turned awesome. I first walked around the bars without entering them because I was too much under pressure of being alone. I walked for like 10min. Then I got fed up and told myself, fuck it, let's do it, it's just a bad moment to pass. When I entered the bar, I knew that I had to approach very quickly or I'll be depressed and incapable of doing anything for the rest of the night. So I approached the first cute girl I saw passing by me. She didn't understand the sense of my opening (well, me neither, those are silly rap lyrics...) but she was amused nonetheless. She was actually with another girl and 2 guys. I asked the guys if one of them was her bf, they told me no. But they went outside, so I didn't follow them. Next, some guys called me to their group, it turned out, they actually knew me from a previous night where I dance battled them in the middle of the streets. I was amazed they remembered my face, I had totally forgotten them. I stayed with them a bit, they asked if I was alone, I answered honestly because I didn't give a crap. They neither, they found it ballsy and invited me to stay with them if I wanted. Told them I was here to meet other people as well, so they told me I was welcome anytime, that was great. Next, I opened another set of 3 girls 1 guy, they were amused, rap lyrics are the best. They were going to leave to go to a club. I don't know how, but I managed to get them to stay and have another round of drinks (man I'm good, I should envision the lawyer carrier.. but I guess convincing drunk people isn't that hard of a job). So they stayed, and I chatted and danced with them, I had a good feeling with one of them, but I didn't know how to isolate her to get more intimate. I just danced and enjoyed my time in the end. Next, I went for a drink and talked to a few girls at the bar, not attractive, but it kept me in the mood. After that, the first girl I approached recognized me and we began to talk, she asked me what I said to approach her, I just told her it was silly and to get her attention. We talked a bit, but her friends were around us, so to avoid the weirdness of the situation, I introduced my self to the group, they were cool, and the girl was really cute, but again, I didn't know how to isolate when going solo. And so I think at first she was interested, but since I didn't make any further move and just stayed with them to talk and dance, she lost interest in the end. Still I had a good time with them. I began to grow tired, and the bar was going to close. I had 2 options: go to a club, or go home, I chose the latter, I felt my momentum going down anyway. I just stayed a bit to speak and befriend the bouncer (I guess a bouncer friend can be useful if there is too much people in line). Anyway I had a blast I didn't expect to have. I was anxious at first, but I actually had a good night, sure I could have made more effort in terms of going after the girls, but, it was the first time I persisted this much when going solo, I never stopped interacting with people for more than 30 sec each time I was alone. Every group asked if I was alone, and every time I answered honestly and shamelessly, because I own it. I own my motherfucking self. I need no excuse, I can go out alone and meet cool people. To do again. And on to the next challenge. |
