So I'm about to turn 20, just banged one woman that used to be really into me but that is history now, wanna get active and more confident in a lot of situations. Honestly I think most people think I do have confidence but it's in specific things (academics, during sports and that kind of stuff) but regarding making friends and talking to women I still have a lot to learn so that's why I will be starting to do approaches.

I am in college btw but it starts in 2 weeks and although I was quite social the first days because I am a lazy bum I didn't go much to class (did well regardless and that's part of the reason I thought it wasn't necessary to go) soooo I ended up with "half baked" friends that I just chatted with when I went to class and a couple closer friends but still nobody to go to party or do sth together, I will try to improve that too and get back on my feet once I go back to class though, same with my classmates, some are quite hot so it'll be worth it.

Honestly I will try to start easy, like just approach girls I do find attractive in plain daylight but just to ask a small question, I will try to progress to small talk later and flirting but for this first week at least getting into the habit of "saying hi" will be my priority. And as a type of "field test" I will be getting into social situations even if by myself like going to the pool (it's summer where i live rn) or to a pubcrawl (I have gone on a couple before and honestly I can get along really well with foreigners, even made up with a couple of girls that way but every time I go i think to myself I could have done much more if I had been more ballsy) so I have to test myself in "new waters" (like joining other groups not just the one I introduced myself to).

Today was my first day and my goal was to:

- Make a quick question about directions or sth to 2 girls I found pretty: I managed to do this, I failed many times a group of girls passed by me and I just felt intimidated, but at a point i managed to just look at one and before she passed by just ask her the question, she ignored me and proably thought I was either gonna hit on her or trynna "ask for money" (I live in a pretty sketchy part of town) and it was his lilttle brother I think that answered the question for her, kind kid. That small rejection felt bad at first but honestly it's part of the game and I get that making questions when you don't really mean it may make the "vibe" feel off but that's a start for me and it's gonna be better soooo let's try again tomorrow.

- Make small talk to anyone with a dog and pet it a little: This is cause I love dogs but I think of myself as a pretty intimidating guy and also probably have some iinsecurity issues that make me talking to strangers hard, I am latin american and living in Spain so I guess being an inmigrant is a thing. I know probably most of this is in my head and that's why it's part of the things I wanna improve and if I do end up scaring some old spanish grandma then I will just read the mood and walk away.

Tomorrow I will go to a popular park in my city to do the same but with more people, and if all goes well on Friday I will try to make some small talk with girls I don't find too scary, because after that I will be going on a pubcrawl and want to be in a very social mood so I can have much more fun than ever before and next week do it three times better.
