You've probably gathered from my posts that I am a newbie to this and so far i've experienced some success in my first F close. What i've realised is that there is so much more to "pickup" then this.

Last night for instance I went to the pub where many staff from work congregate on a Friday and made friends with 3 new people who I'd never spoken to before.

Today at Morrisons I had a conversation with the girl on the checkout, I wasn't trying to pull her but just be freindly. It took me a couple of minutes to think of a starting topic but once I had guess what, she responds and then starts asking me questions and we're rapport building. I left the transaction on really friendly terms and felt proud for taking the effort to do something out the ordinary, step out of my comfort zone and ultimatley make someones day a little brighter!!!

This really is fulfilling stuff and something that I feel proud to be part of!
