At the bar last night, needed to warm up.

I was walking around in a good mood, slight smile on my face. Saw these girls that looked as if they were having a terrible time; so as I walked by I put on a big smile and said "SMILE" and did a big grin. Did this a few more times (to different groups of girls/girls on their own) and sometimes I even used my index fingers to point at the corners of large smile, as if to stretch it out (emphasizing my smile basically).

Got various reactions. Some smiled back. Some made a funny face and laughed. Some didnt respond at all.

Point is, it warmed me up. Its also good because when you smile, your almost automatically in a good mood. So when they dont react, you dont really give a fuck! And when they react positively, even though its not an F-close or #-close, it gives me some positive feedback to start my night, which makes me more confident.

Also, when you use your hands to emphasize your smile, you practise using body language and it warms that up as well.

One other thing: don't walk around the bar doing this all night, its just a warm up!
