Well I had a bit of break New Years Eve and New Years day (I originally intended to start this challenges next week, but couldnt wait). So I decided to backtrack and redo the small talk with 5 strangers.

I opened an awesome seated 1 set but had great difficulty leading the conversation away from the girls work. It seemed it was all she was interested in. I tried the good old "If you could be anything in the world, what would you be" I tried mentioning travel with my work, but she just mentioned a load of seminars and events that she organised and ran. All in all, a nice girl, but a bit too obsessed with work, but still anice 5 - 10 minute chat and it was just small talk.

The funny thing was when I saw her, there was some dude just perving on her, then he looked really shocked and amazed when I just sat down and chatted to her, then he looked annoyed, oh well.

Did the other 4 small talks, but nothing special.

No anxiety at all after the first approach. Finished the challenge pretty quickly as well, no psyching myself up this time.

Defo feel ready to move onto Day 3 and the stuff after.

Also noticed that I was naturally getting into small talk with the blonde on the Gym reception by the time I got there. Didnt even need to think about it, it just happened.

Also noticed, my urge to improve my game and carry on with evening approaches is growing stronger. I have done 3 nights of approaches (granted only small talk) this week, but defo enjoying and want to do more.

Also seems easier to get into, each time, even after 2 days off.
