Hello Everyone!
Background Info
You guys can call me Logitech, as I would rather not disclose my real name. I am 21 years old and live in Canada. I have two more years left before I graduate with my Bachelor of Business and Admin. I have never dated, been in a relationship, or kissed a girl. When I take a look at myself, I see a shy, and afraid individual who is just afraid to live life, and make mistakes. I blame my 'perfectionist' personality for that. As I get older, I find myself getting more and more depressed of just waking up and knowing that I have been single for all these years.
My wake up call: In the afternoons I usually enjoy just soaking up the sun in my backyard. Everyday around 4:00pm I have a female neighbour who is in her late thirtys who would arrive home from work. She is single, no kids, and lives alone. Everytime I would see her, I'd greet her with a simple 'hi'. She would always have a sad look on her face, and I felt that I had a connection with her; someone who was just lonely. It then hit me, is that the kind of life I want?
I have finally decided that enough is enough. This summer I have made it my goal to get my first date and perhaps a girlfriend. In my opinion, to make my goal possible, I will approach as many people as possible (young, old, male, and female), in order to get my confidence level up.
I will record all notable interactions that I have in this journal. I believe that by having a journal, it will help me analyze what I did right and wrong. Also, I would really appreciate any feedback from all of you. I am welcome to any advice that you give me. Thank you for reading, I hope that you will join me on this journey

I went to a new Supercenter Wal-Mart today in a different part of town that I don't normally go to, in order to get some grocery shopping done. As I walk down the fruit and vegetable isle, I spot this stunning blonde female employee who is working there. As I go up to approach her, I'm extremely nervous. Here is how the conversation went:
Me: Hi there (with a smile on my face)
Her: Hi (She smiles back)
Me: When did they open this store?
Her: Oh, we just had our grand opening on May 30.
Me: (Wal-Mart supercentres in Canada are very rare btw). This store reminds me of the same kind in the states.
Her: haha yea, unfortunately the prices are alot more expensive here than in the U.S.
Me: There is no doubt about that.
There is about a 10 second silence
Me: (at this point my mind goes blank, and I don't know what to say) Well its nice talking to you, see ya.
Her: Bye (For some reason she had a big smile on her face at this point)
As I continue to work my way down the isles, I notice that she keeps staring at me. I was going to go back to her and ask for her number, but I just felt it was too akward at this point.
Analysis: I felt that I could have number closed this girl successfully if I only had the balls to initially. During the whole conversation I felt nervous and my legs were shaking a bit. lol. Next time, I just have to breath and relax I guess.
