It’s been pretty busy here back at UCF, trying to get my school schedule organized, hanging out with old friends, and trying to go out the most I can, it’s been pretty hard to come up with pick up. I’m trying to get very organzied and plan things out better just so I can better manage my time and give myself the time needed to practice and learn. This post it really just a little update because of what happened to day in my western civ class. It wasn’t anything amazing, the girl wasn’t like the hottest one in the room but that’s kinda besides the point to me. One piece of advice I try and follow with new classes at the beginning of semesters is to just place my self next to a cute girl and some what force myself to being social. Usually I just sit right down next to them, met a few thetas that way. But today I noticed a cute girl sitting by herself, but I couldn’t work up the courage to sit right new to her, I ended up walking past her and sitting one row infront of her. “Okay, you didn’t have the balls to out right sit next to her, but you can at least try to initiate some kind of information” I was telling myself over and over again. After about 5 minutes of this, and with class starting in 3, I said fuck it. I turned my head around and asked her over my shoulder about how the grades in this class were bullshit, the only time we got points was for exams so it was either you know the shit or fail. Surprisingly, we actually got a little conversation going. Talking about the class and bullshitting. Few minutes in she asked “Did you just start this class? I’ve never seen you in here before” IOI if i’ve ever seen one. I smiled and said nah, I was usually just late and snuck my way into the back row. She chuckled and we kept talking for a bit. After that she said “You know if you want some help studying for the test, we could always just study together”. With that half smirk plastered on my face, “Yeah, that’d be cool” (playing it off cool ammmmmm I right?) she smiled back. “I’m Rachel” “I’m dan, it’s very nice to meet you”. Ended up not getting her number that class because I kinda knew in the back of my mind that she would be perfectly comfortable with me just coming up and sitting right next to her next class. So, yes in the end it was no big feat, no extreme game going on, but it made me feel good. Sometimes I just get so distracted with life that I put sedution of to the way side, and it was great to see that my anxieties that have been creeping up on me are just that, mental. They’re all in my head, if I can practice more and just become more confident about myself talking to people, I’ll have no problem with girls.
