The Cold Approach: Saturday June 27

Saturday June 27

COLD APPROACH IS BACK. [Heavily re-motivated by this blog]. Read new "About" section for updated perspective and goals. Onwards:

PRE: Eye is acting up and cannot wear contacts. Therefore have to wear goofy glasses which I feel draw attention to me or cause people to prejudge me and this will significantly decrease my chances of entering a bar. However did successfully cold approach a woman from earlier in the day at a coffee shop. We were sitting at the coffee shop bar and I had been wanting to talk to her but could not bring self to. Rejected all possible things to say as inferior. As she started to leave she whipped out a huge bicycle helmet and put it on the table and I asked her if she biked and commented that it was a big helmet. She laughed and said she didnt have a car and she was borrowing the helmet. Then left. So even if I dont go into bar today, already have one CA under my belt. HOORAH. Nobody in life gives you anything; and some people actively take it away.

POST: Drove through bar area. Saw a guy. He was bigger than me physically as most people are. I am light as shit. Feel bad about it, like people dont respect light people. Saw some cops. Drove around. Wasted gas. Didnt go in. Knew that was going to happen. Dont like going in places wearing glasses; prefer contacts. Its a big thing. Feel disappointed but glad I am back on the blog. Also glad I am not the only one in this position.

About

I started this blog a year ago during summertime living alone in a city. The idea of using the blog as motivation and protection in exposing myself to the uncertainties of the social atmosphere of strangers was the starting reason for the blog. I slacked off and finished my last year of school and now we are back. The idea is to live; to overcome social anxiety and low self-esteem and insecurities and introversion and to just try. To crash and burn. And of course to chronicle it all right here. The way it will work is before going out to local bars alone around 9 or 10 I will start a post with a 'pre' write describing my feelings and motivations. Then I will do a post write upon return. Enjoy and be inspired.

[Old About:] My goal is to cold approach one woman per day for the rest of the summer. By 'cold approach' I mean to start a conversation in a social public place (like a bar, park, book store) in a nonchalant and friendly manner. Although sex is undeniable as a factor, the overall purpose is accelerated personal growth. At the end of the summer I will have approached 60+ women, have 60+ stories to tell (which will all be chronicled right here) and hopefully will be the wiser for it. I am committed to making an update every day in this blog, cold approach or not. Go to the first post for more information.
