Hit the streets of central London today. As some of you know, my 1st daygame attempt was pretty much a non-event.

Really should have been switched on from the start as I travelled into London. I wasn't, reached Charing Cross, headed to Trafalgar Square and there was a play about Jesus about to start.

This somewhat threw me off balance, leading to Approaches 1 and 2 being major blowouts (i.e. didn't even acknowledge my presence).

On the plus side, it was 2 more than I managed the 1st time around.

Stop for 5 minutes to try and pull myself together, finish my Red Bull, remove sunglasses and set off again.

Approach 3 - pass a HB7 outside McDonalds in Leicester Square. Walked past her, didn't do anything, got about 30 metres on, thought 'fuck this' and jogged back towards her. Stopped in front of her and said that she was gorgeous. She gets embarrassed, beams a smile and says 'thanks', then walks on. Much better!

Get to Leicester Square cinema and wait for my wing. My head is all over the place so I put on some motivational music, take deep breaths and zone out.

My wing arrives (James M) and we head off to Covent Garden.

Things improved from then on, it's always a good day when you lose track of the number of approaches made. The highlights:

1) Number-closing a Chinese HB7 in Covent Garden, however this may be a flake;
2) Getting involved in a 3 set outside a pub we stopped at - a HB7, her dad (!) and a family friend (also HB7). We were there for at least half an hour, with some good banter.
3) Opening an Italian HB7 on the tube which wasn't empty - brief but decent chat. Need to try that more often!

WHAT I LEARNED
-----------------

1) Push the interactions further - I had several 'is this actually me doing this' moments which messed me up. With more practice I think it will become more natural;

2) There is no right time to approach - ALWAYS approach. This video was another little inspiration today:

'Keep using fear as fuel for approaching; keep challenging yourself'. That is all
