Looks like I'm seeing some post-run effects of v2.4. Surprisingly, the best so far 
So, I attended a short course (a 2 hour session, essentially) at a community college. There was this girl I noticed during the session, but she wasn't really my type.
When the session finished she actually found an excuse to stay back a little and talked to me. We started walking out together and she was often walking too close to me - bumping into me while walking and our upper arms touching each other. We spoke and talked about various topics for about half an hour. A very intense and high energy conversation for about 30-40 minutes.
There were a few points in the conversation where I felt like she was taking on the role of the pursuer and was doing things typically I would do when I was interested in a girl. For example, she offered to buy me a coffee (timeframe not specified) and walked with me to where I was supposed to go rather than me walking with her to where she was supposed to go. She found a silly reason to high five me. Also, with the things she was telling me: that her friends say she's intelligent, speaks many languages, has lived in many places in the world etc. it felt like she was trying to qualify herself.
Eventually, I decided I should be going home (my sleep quality on and after DMSI has been very bad) and I have been having trouble getting to work on time. Plus my place looks like a grenade exploded there (things on the floor etc. - yes, it's crap and looks like I've lost all motivation to clean up). We exchanged numbers and off we went our separate ways.
After that I sent her a message and she responded immediately. I sent another message and she took almost an entire day to respond to it. This was the bit that confused me a bit. I didn't see any rings on her fingers at all and the way she seemed interested in me I seriously doubt she has a boyfriend either.
Anyway, I have to say this has been my most positive experience of an interaction with a member of the opposite gender since starting DMSI where I felt like the girl was putting more effort than I was in trying to be with me and to speak to me. Looking forward to v3.
SIDE EFFECTS
By the way, now that I've stopped listening to subs for a few days, there are a few things I'd classify as side effects of DMSI (they have certainly affected me, not sure others have been impacted by DMSI in the same way):
All the best for v3, Shannon. Keep it up and thanks for your efforts and work on DMSI.

SIDE EFFECTS
By the way, now that I've stopped listening to subs for a few days, there are a few things I'd classify as side effects of DMSI (they have certainly affected me, not sure others have been impacted by DMSI in the same way):
- Quality of sleep has gone downhill on DMSI. Every single morning I wake up exhausted with red eyes. I'd much appreciate if someone could suggest a solution to this or if Shannon could take care of this in the next version. I have been taking vitamins and fish oil, but they haven't helped in this case.
- Messy living quarters. After a few weeks on DMSI I lost all motivation to clean up my living quarters and my place looks like a big mess. Yes, someone on the forum mentioned that everyone's place is messy. But I now have my mess not only on the tables and chairs, but also on the floor. This for me is a new low. Again, would much appreciate if Shannon could do something about it in the next version.
- Weight gain. I gained a lot of weight (7-8 Kg or about 15-17 pounds during approximately last 3 months). My belly is visibly bigger too. This is causing me not to fit in my current clothes and I'd really appreciate if Shannon could do find a way to counteract this bit.
All the best for v3, Shannon. Keep it up and thanks for your efforts and work on DMSI.
