Day 28

I did 4 approaches today, leaving me just one shy of 60 for the month.  If I include the 31st, there's a chance I can hit 70.  We'll see what happens!

Also, today was the first time I'd approached two different women with the same name in the same day.  And the funny thing is, it's not even a real common name.

The first approach was at Metcalfe's by West Towne.  I complimented a woman on her hair (I feel like this is a pretty neutral compliment to give a woman, but one that still makes her feel good.)  I told her about the challenge and she seemed like she thought it was a cool idea.  I gave her my card so she could look up this blog.

The second approach was at Target in Hilldale.  I also complimented her on her hair.  It turns out she had the same name as the woman at Metcalfe's, which was interesting.  I told her about the challenge and she also thought it was really cool.  I also gave her my card to look up the blog.

The third approach was at Metcalfe's at Hilldale.  I saw a woman over by the salad bar and she looked like she had just come from the gym, but I approached her anyway.  I told her about the challenge and then asked her if she had just come from the gym.  She had, so we talked about that for a bit.  I didn't give her my card.  I'm not sure why, I just didn't.

The last approach was at HyVee.  I saw a woman with jaw-length hair, which I think is a nice length on some women.  I complimented her on that and then told her about the challenge.  She thought it was really cool and said that it seemed like something she should do.  I hope she does it, because I know it has really had a profound impact on my life.  Actually, to anyone reading this that's thinking about doing it, I say do it.  There's no good reason not to and a really good reason to.  I promise that at the end of the 30 days, you won't regret doing it.
