Challenge: Day 24 FR
Wow, Day 24 already...(today is Day 25).
So I had a firm event almost the whole day. Bunch of games and other activities that were for "firm building." Was pretty tired at the end of it all since there was physical activity involved in most of them (and I'm sporting a huge bruise and lump on my knee from running into another coworker), but my last 3 days included a failure and 2 days stuck at work. I was determined to go out and get my 2 approaches in no matter what.
After the firm event, I go home to shower, then need to get something to eat. I decide to go to Rubio's on Wilshire and after I park, I'm walking to Rubio's and I see this cute blond standing by herself. She looks like she's waiting for someone. I walk past her. Decide to approach. Stop. Turn around. Walk toward her.
Approach 1
D: "Excuse me, I know this is random, but I saw you over here and had to say you're cute. I'm D."
HB: "Thanks! I'm HB."
D: "So what are you doing standing here by yourself? It looks like you're waiting for someone."
HB: "Yeah, I just got off work. I'm waiting for my roommate to pick me up."
D: "Oh, where do you work?"
HB: "Jamba Juice."
D: "Jamba Juice. Awesome. I love the Orange Dream Machine. Hey, I was just about to grab something over at Rubio's. You should join me while you wait for your roommate, so you don't have to stand out here by yourself."
HB: "It's ok. I should wait out here."
D: "OK then. It was nice meeting you."
HB: "You too."
And I walk over to Rubio's to get my food.
I didn't give her a reason to come with me, so I was pretty sure it wasn't going to work, but I wanted to try it anyway since I really had nothing to lose since she was going to leave soon and I was going to get food.
Get food, go back to my apt to eat.
Go to the the Parlor, but it's dead.
Go to Busby's. It's also dead. I'm afraid I'm not going to get my second approach in.
Play pool with my friends, then decide to go get more beer.
I see this 2 set sitting at a table with a chilled bottle of champagne. I figure they'd be easy to open.
Get the beers.
Approach 2
D: "Congratulations on whatever you guys are celebrating!"
HBs: "Thanks!"
D: "I'm D."
HBs: "I'm HB." "I'm HB."
D: "So what exactly are you guys celebrating?"
HB: "Life. Having an excellent life."
D: "I'll toast to that! Cheers! Well, it was nice meeting you. Enjoy your night."
HB: "Thanks, you too."
Go back and play pool.
I've noticed there is less hitch in my approaching now than when I started this challenge. My hiatus really fucked with my approach, but now it's back to where it was prior to my hiatus, so this challenge has been a great success.
