Day 31

I only did 2 approaches today, but they were both really good approaches.

The first one was at Barnes & Noble.  I saw a woman sitting in the used book section, so I went over and introduced myself.  We talked about our hobbies and the challenge.  I talked to her for awhile, maybe 20-30 minutes.  It was probably the longest conversation I've had while doing my challenges.  This was helped by the fact that we were just sitting there talking.  I found out that she's originally from India and just recently moved back to Madison from Pittsburgh.  We had a really in-depth discussion about the challenge and being social and things like that.  She had mentioned that since moving back, she's found it difficult to make friends, which was when I brought up the challenge.  After we talked 20-30 minutes, she had to go meet up with her parents, so we exchanged numbers and I told her that she has made a new friend in Madison.

The second approach was at HyVee.  I introduced myself and found out that she's a HS teacher, which is what I used to do, so we talked about that.  I also asked her about her hobbies and what she likes to do.  Then we talked about my challenge and being social with people.  She was very nice, I can definitely see her as a teacher. 

This was a great way to end August.

On to September!
