So a friend of mine suggested I make a blog to detail my progress in becoming more competent around women (like that'll ever happen). As of today, I would rate myself, on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being awkward freak and 10 being certified lady's man) somewhere around -3. In high school, I was said to be "afraid of girls." As much as I hate that expression, it's kinda true. I am terrified of interacting with random women. Why? Elephino. (What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino...) Honestly, I think if I was a little more sociable, the ladies would LOVE me. I think I have a lot to offer: intelligence, romantic tendencies, a rockin' hard bod, sophistication, humor, wit, sympathy, beautiful curly brown hair, a bright and successful future, the list goes on and on...

I'm thinking that with each blog, I'll include a section detailing my "Potential Progressions." These are my daily encounters with girls that I should (key word should) attempt to make some sort of connection with - though as you will see, I don't.

Today's Potential Progressions

Treadmill Girl - dirty blond hair, great tan complexion, athletic body; I was running on the treadmill next to her, gave her some looks every now and then, don't think she noticed. Looking back, should've pulled a Michael (Jason Bateman) from Arrested Development and said, "Wanna race?" Maybe next time (highly unlikely).
RESULT: FAIL

Two Girls in Caf - brunettes, maybe artsy, modestly dressed, freshmen; so these two girls sat behind me while I was reading the WSJ in the caf, texted Josh for some pointers - he didn't answer - so I blame him. Looking back, should've tried something clever like gone over to their table and said something like, "Is this seat taken?" Damn hindsight.
RESULT: DOUBLE FAIL

So that basically sums up where I currently am. Nowhere. That's all for this post. If you want, leave me some advice in the comments box.

Smell you later
