Had a long day today with lots of raining and was meeting a friend later so I tried to do 5 approaches along the way and when I reached the mall. Still trying to be present and learning to switch topics after the opener. Also I am trying to fix my voice and other things but it's far from perfect right now.

Interaction 1 - I went to the bus stop and saw this girl standing there waiting for her bus. She was listening to music so I went next to her and said excuse me and got her attention. I told her she had artistic vibe and asked if she was an artist. She said she used to work as one but had to leave for another job because of money. We started talking about it and then she asked me about myself. We talked about various things and she was asking me questions as well. I found out she was going on the same bus and made the mistake of not asking for her number at the bus stop. She had a lot of stuff with her and once the bus came, she sat by herself taking 2 seats. I felt bad that I didn't go for close so I thought I have to try so I created a note on my mobile with my closing line and asked for her number in the end. I extended my hand and pointed the mobile to her in a full bus. She read it and said No. I thought ok

Interaction 2 - I reached the mall and it was already evening so mall was mostly empty. I was already getting late so I tried to do my approaches quickly. I saw this cute girl and told her that she looked like a cute hamster. She smiled and said it's ok. I was confused after that for a while like did she not get my compliment.

Interaction 3 - I went onwards and saw this lady with a beautiful golden top. I went up to her and told her that her top was really pretty. She smiled, said thanks and left

Interaction 4 - I saw this lady with beautiful eyes just after the last Interaction. I really wanted to tell her that so I went upto her and told her that I am about to meet my friend but I still had to tell her that her eyes are beautiful. She smiled and said thanks

Interaction 5 - I saw this athletic girl who was actually quite serious. I stopped her and asked her that she had very athletic and yoga vibe about her, is he into yoga? She said she is not. I added that I had a friend who looked like her and she was into yoga so I was curious about her. Then I added but you must be into exercising. She said she goes to gym regularly. I added you seem like you do cardio to which she said that she actually does weight training. After that she asked with a serious face is there anything else, I said no and she left.

Another step to getting this handled.
