Day 15
Challenge: Approach 5 people, Don't ask any questions, turn all questions into statements.
Feeling before: It's getting easier as the challenges get harder. In other words, I simply give less fucks when it comes to approaching people. Im still maybe 20-30% nervous but not like before. It's been 2 weeks and I'm finally getting out of the pain period.
Kind of tough challenge that one. It's hard to turn questions into statements without sounding creepy. For example: I've been talking to a worker, a cute girl. I told her "you've been working here for exactly 3 years." She looks at me weird and say, "how the fuck do you know?"...
BTW instead of 5 people I approached 8 or 9. The more the better.
Feeling after: Proud of myself for accomplishing a somehow hard challenge. Not the hardest but not the easiest.

Day 14 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 14
Challenge: Approach 5 girls, open with a compliment, then hop to a new topic, without using a transition.
Feeling after: I'm starting to feel like it's normal to talk to strangers now.
I approached 6 people and they were pretty cool with me.
Feeling after: I feel okay but bad at the same time 'cause this is getting too easy xD.

Day 13 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 13
Challenge: Approach 10 women and do not break eye contact at all.If you are having trouble keeping girls there for too long, try it on workers.
Feeling before: Well I'm starting to get pretty relaxed already before the challenges. I still have some bitch butterflies but I feel that I'm leaving the "Pain period" (period when you absolutely don't want to go out and approach lol). It gets easier and that's the best feeling in the world.
Pretty funny one, this challenge. I was in a grocery store and I decided to talk to various kind of people, girls, old women, workers, men, etc. I approached a total of 12 persons. I would ask random things, be friendly, be random of course while maintaining a straight eye contact during the whole interaction.
Feeling after: Feeling great, although this one was easy. Ready for tomorrow.

Day 12 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 12
Challenge: Don't go for more than 30 seconds without talking to a girl. Approach 10 girls in a row. If you take more than 30 seconds, reset the counter and start from 1.
Feeling before: This honestly was the challenge I was the most scared of. I don't know why but it stressed the heck out of me.
Fortunately I didn't have to reset my counter. I approached 12 girls. I had 2 approaches where the girls didn't answer me and walked away but that doesn't count. There need to be at least a small interaction.
Feeling after: I forgot the notion of time during the challenge. I was so busy counting to 30, stressing out, etc. etc. I went fast though. Wasn't as bad as I thought.

Day 11 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 11
Challenge: Approach 5 girls and open them using your favourite rap lyrics.
Feeling before: This is the challenge I was the most comfortable doing.
I approached 6 girls and had a fun conversation with all of them! Guys, this is the most effective way to approach a girl in my experience. Girls find it funny when you approach them saying complete non-sense stuff.
Girls are way more receptive when you're relaxed, when you don't try to impress them and when you don't give a shit about making things awkward. Again, that's in my own experience.
I tried to make the openers as awkward as possible and I had the best interactions...
When SP says that it's not important what you say as an opener, it's true.
Feeling after: Felt really good, best challenge so far.

Day 10 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 10
Challenge: Compliment 10 girls using a cheesy pickup line.
Feeling before: This can't be so bad... I mean I'm pretty confident at this point.
Well no, haha. I made a list of a couple of cheesy pickup lines to say to girls. Hard to say them without being creepy. I can list them for you if you want.
- Do you have a map? 'Cause I got lost into your eyes.
- Did it hurt when you fell from the sky? (classic)
- Was your dad a thief? 'Cause he stole the stars to put them in your eyes...
- I'm sorry, I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?
- Despite behind beautiful, what do you do in life?
I literally opened to 10 girls using these pickup lines. But to me the goal is being more spontaneous and stop creating excuses.
Feeling after: The problem is I felt awkward during the whole challenge and after the challenge I felt even more awkward... BUT I still feel that I'm growing as an individual. Again I recommend starting the Simple 30 Challenge it's day 10 and I already feel change.

Day 9 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 9
Challenge: Find a busy area, and do 10 pushups (or as many as you can)
Feeling before: I didn't give a shit.
Went to 2 different malls. Went in the middle of the food court. Started doing push ups for a whole minute in front of everybody.
Feeling after: Like a boss.
