Firstly, I am still texting the 18 year old but I am taking things slow with her so let's see when can I get her out. Secondly it was raining all day here today so I wasn't even sure in the start about what should I do. I did end up doing 5 approaches but they were mostly short and compliments only. Also I went out in the evening tonight rather than in the afternoon so I was a bit more vary because of that as well. I know I might be making excuses at times by just doing these small ones but I don't wanna give up on this journey so these small steps still make me happy at times.

Interaction 1 - Saw this girl across the signal who was looking nice. So I waited on my side and waited for her to cross the signal and when she came near me, I said stop I have to tell you something and then said you look... really nice. She smiled and said thanks. I left after that

Interaction 2- Saw this girl walking next to me with knitting threads in her bag. I started talking to her about how it's not very common and she told me she wants to keep the old traditions. We talked about different stuff and she talked about the Norsemen club she was in. It was mostly friendly but I actually found the club thing cool so told her that I would love to check it out. Will see how it goes

Interaction 3 - Saw this Japanese girl at the Bus stop. I really liked her hairs so I told her that they look great and are a bit different. She said in a Japanese accent "diffelent" and I immediately said that you must be Japanese. She said yeah and I said yeah they are cool. She was going the other way so I went my way

Interaction 4 - Saw this girl is black coming towards me at the corner of a shop. I said I have to tell you something and she said I was in a hurry. Then she stopped at a red light and I jusy went next to her and told her that I just wanted to tell her that she was looking ... really pretty and would feel bad if I wouldn't say that. Suddenly her eyes lit up and I could see that she was so happy about it. I asked does it make you happy and she said definitely. I said ok have a good day then. Interaction like these makes you so muxh happy too cuz it feels like you made someone else's day.

Interaction 5 - I was waiting on a signal and saw this beautiful girl dressed up walk past me. I went up to her and told her that I have to tell her something. Then I told her that she looked... amazing and she started laughing. I asked her if she was going on a date( don't know why I asked that, probably I was just in my head still) and she said kind of to which I said ok have a good day.
