Today's session was a satisfying in terms of reactions. But the true success is in opening anyways.
1. My goals before going in were to initiate at least 2 conversations and compliment 3 girls. What I managed to achieve were 5 solid conversations with girls, and 2 compliments. 7 solid sets.

  1. What I did right.
    a) Conversation 1, Came across each other walking in opposite directions, maintained eye contact and told her she was cute(She was lol). She was interested in me and stopped, I was scared to stop because I was afraid she was going to walk away from me in front of people = embarrassing. She asked why I kept walking forward. She asked me why I was walking away. Then I just went to her.
    I asked her name, what she spoke, and she laughed a lot throughout the conversation. I asked her for her number, and she said she had a boyfriend, I played along thinking she was serious, looking back I think she was just joking. I was confident throughout the convo, maintaining eye contact and making jokes. I liked that interaction. It was satisfying.
    What I could've done better was to stay longer in the set because that was the goal, not getting numbers or dates. What I did was end the conversation early. I could've stayed present by noticing the environment and listened(visualize what she's saying to what she had to say and comment on that or whatever came to my mind,

b) Conversation 2, I asked a pregnant lady if it was baby number one. She said asked why. I said I was just curious. Then it ended there. Opening was good imo. What I could have done better was being present, listening what she had to say. Looking back I could've said "I wanted to say happy mothers day but I can't now can I."(even though it was to days back) instead of being in my head and saying I was curious.

c) Conversation 3-4 were with store workers. One of them was looking at me like she wanted to eat me up hahah. What I did right = Compliments. Being calm/trying to be present. Opening! One of them looked a bit annoyed. What I did right was trying to persist in conversation. I also asked a question I was genuinely curious about. I could've tried to have been more present in the convo.

d) Conversation 5 was with a old lady whilst walking, told her I liked her jacket. I don't remember her responding. I told her I'm sure it's really warm. She kinda laughed.
What I did right. Opening. It was a short interactions.

In general. What I could do better is to speak with more volume. Be more present, and listen in conversations.

Next session, I want to focus on is opening, because that's what I fear.

What a win 7 approaches today! Over my initial goal for the day.
