Went out expecting to overcome approach anxiety as the previous time I procrastinated on going out, spending my time watching youtube until I cancelled it telling myself I was not feeling well. You know, spending too much time on youtube is the worst way to procrastinate, so I downloaded a website blocker, set it to block youtube from 6am to 6pm. Turns out it works.

This time I managed to approach 5 of them.

Girl 1 standing leaning against the wall at the subway

Me: Excuse me, do you know where the library is?

Her: (Talks a bunch of direction and points)

Me: Thank you, actually I just thought you look really cute. I dont even know here got library haha

Her: (Laughs really loudly)

We introduced our names and I didnt know what to say so I kept silent for a few seconds. I felt the awkwardness and saw her backing away a little. So I ejected myself saying nice seeing you around.

Girl 2 standing at the subway

Same opener, but she put her headphones back on so I left

Girl 3 sitting at the concrete

Same opener, with me sitting right beside her

Her: Oh so u dont want to go to the library, what brings you here?

Me: Yeah I just keep saying I want to go to the library but I am here to meet people haha.

(Pause)

Me: What brings you here?

Her: I am waiting for a friend

Me: Oh how do you know your friend?

Her: Same school I mean she was from my previous school not the one that I am in

Me: Oh yeah I also meet my friend from my secondary school, we have a gang that we still meet each other.

Her: Oh

(Pause)

Me: Nice glasses btw, its like those circle korean style ones not like those ugly square ones for older people.

Her: Yeah I got it from my friend's shop.

Me: Oh wow your friend works as a optimetrician?

Her: Yeah

(Pause)

Me: Your shirt seems really hot (she was wearing a double layer and fluffy looking outer coat)

Her: Its ok, other people also wear

Me: Really? (Gesturing to a man in a t-shirt and a woman in a sphagetti strap who was walking pass)

Her: See they also got wear (Gesturing to a woman in another fluffy top)

Me: What clothes do you prefer to wear most?

Her: I dont know I like alot of different types

Me: Would you wear a spaghetti strap top?

Her: Nope

Me: Too revealing is it?

Her: Yeah

Me: I also go out usually wont wear singlets myself

(Pause)

Eventually I decided against asking for her number/asking her to go for a walk because I didnt feel that we connected. So I just ejected myself.

Girl 4 standing at the alleyway

Did not seem impressed with my opener and ignored me. So I left shortly after opening.

Girl 5 walking along road pavement

Asked for directions and ejected myself
