Last time I went for my goal I was drunk and didn't actually complete it again, so I decided to do it again. I realized that, although it's fine as "practice", I'd rather not complete my goals drunk. Also, I want to try them on my own, and/or on the street as well.
So I went to an international party by myself. I'm not a big fan of those, but they are great places to practice stuff and warm up for the rest of the night. Plus, thanks to connections, I usually get into them for free. So I had one drink, not nearly enough for me to even get tipsy, and went to work. I didn't say "Hi! What's your name?" to everyone, but pretty close. Although it seems obvious objectively, it isn't until you really experience how friendly and welcome most people are that you start to realize just how much we inhibit OURSELVES, rather than are inhibited (by society or whatever bullshit). Once you warm up, it becomes very natural and enjoyable to be sociable, even if you are an introvert like me.
Last weekend I was going through something tough so, even though I went out, I didn't complete any assignments. No matter, I have plans to do so next weekend.
I'm going to greet and ask the name of everyone in whatever venue I wind up in next time. That will be the very first thing I do. I may even start with the most "difficult" people first (whoever looks weirdest or most intimidating). If I don't go to any particular venue, I'll just walk up to some girls on the street and ask them. I'm not sure how many or how long I'll do it, I'll probably gauge it in the moment.
In addition I have a "party" game I wanna try. If I get a chance, I'll post about it next time.
