Today was another great day of my journey. I used the same opener and got into basic conversation. I mostly did indoor approaches today so my calibration was a bit off. Still working on getting that right.

Interaction 1 - This was a great interaction in the mall. I was waiting for my friend and saw this cute girl coming towards me. I stopped her and used the artistic opener still. She said she did use to paint but she stopped. I asked her the reason and she said it was taking too much time. I taked about my experience with it and then asked her what she was upto now a days. She said she is looking for a job and I asked her if she has any preferences. We talked a bit more and the eye contact was good during this whole interaction. She had to go and I was busy too so I asked her for her number. She said she has a boyfriend and I said ok I will take her number for my social circle and took her number.

Interaction 2 - I saw this women going inside a store so I went into the store and went upto her and used the artistic opener. She had seen me coming towards her so my calibration was off and said she isn't an artist. I tried taking too get about why I thought that about her and asked her what she did but she was a bit uncomfortable so I left.

Interaction 3 - I saw this girl leaving the mall so went up to her and asked her if she does something artistic. She said she actually studies medicine. I talked about how that was completely different and told her why I thought that. I talked about medicine a bit and she said she has to go and left. Still need to work more on transition

Interaction 4 - I went home after that and later went out to meet another friend. While waiting for him, I saw a cute girl shopping in a nearby store so I went to her and asked her if she had an artistic background cuz she did had that vibe. She said not really, she studied health sciences. I talked about my experience with the subject and asked her what got her into that. She talked about it a bit and said that she is here with her siblings and left

Interaction 5 - This was a funny one. I saw this girl who was looking really cute and had artists hat on her so I went up to her and said excuse me real quick I have a question. She removed her headphones and before I could say anything, she said sorry but she is waiting for someone so she would appreciate if I leave. I tried saying something else but she insisted on being left alone so I left.
