So I took on the Mission I saw on the newbie post. I just went to get lunch to a mall, so the mission was to say hi to every single women that got close to me. How close you ask? Well I use an old rule I learn from my retail days. Any woman that was 3 ft away from me I say hi.

So I started really slow. The first woman I saw was a group of HB5, HB8, HB6 but I did not say hi.

From then on I did say hi to almost every woman that look like she was over 18 and under 50. (I'm 26 so I don't want to get in legal problems)

The results where mix since about 40% did not acknowledge me, 35% gave me a friendly look and 25% say hi back. I did't got any numbers but overall was a great mission. I actually enjoy going around and just keeping a smile and greeting every woman.

Three woman in general got my attention and I will like to discuss how the interaction went:

HB9: She had really nice clothes, I know a lot about clothes and this girl was wearing truly expensive clothes. Not in a tacky Paris Hilton way but more like a European princess. So I saw her in the FYE (movies and music store) we meet in a corner by the movies. I told her hi, she saw me, she gave me a friendly look and a half smile. After I told her hi I stop for a second hoping she was going to stop too. She didn't. My failure here was we meet in a corner so I end up in a confrontation position, also my opening was not confident enough. To bad since I had a lot to talk to her about. Her clothes alone would it been great conversation since I really appreciate woman with good fashion sense.

HB7: This girl had a lot of piercings and really flashy clothes. She look like she was coming from a rave. She was walking outside a store and I was coming out of that store. I told her hi, we keep eye contact and then she turn her head and she keep walking. I think my bad positioning was the biggest problem in this situation. Since she keep eye contact and I think she wanted to stop. I actually saw in her expressions make the decision to keep walking.

HB7: Nice looking girl she look like she was from the 90's very grunge. She was looking at some clothes in a skateboarder store and I was looking at the headphones. I told her hi, she told me hi and ask me if I work there. I told her I did not and ask her what she was buying. She told me a shirt for her niece and she ask if I was buying headphones. I told her no I'm waiting to go watch the green hornet and we stroke a conversation about comics. After the comics conversation I had nothing to say and she just walked away and pick up some shirts. She put all the shirts in a table, she told me have a nice day and left the store. The problem here was I had nothing to say, I need some DHV stories and some psychological games. On the plus side I got a conversation out of just walking around in the mall.

Three things I got out of this mission are from now on I'm always going to greet women around me. It's really easy and it can only lead to good things. Second positioning is really important. Third I need to be a lot more prepared.

This is it.

Good job on your new mission. It sounds like you got a lot out of this, and it's cool that you had a short conversation with the grunge chick.

I haven't done the newbie mission before, but it sounds like fun.
