8 Loops (Day 1 of Cycle 6)
Sleep was a little uncomfortable after playing it for 8 hours with earbuds last night but today has probably been my best day yet with X4A-1000.
Today, I've felt/experienced a repeat of the effects I was feeling from 7 loops (increased social opportunities, seeing many more attractive girls than usual, etc). But with 8, I'm starting to experience a new urge: the urge to talk with people. Before, other people would initiate or it was a forced conversation based on the circumstances. For example, during one of the 7 loop days, I open the door to the staircase at my dorm and at the same time, there is a girl carrying a dog (which is very unusual since there's no dogs allowed at my dorm) so conversation naturally occurred out of curiosity. But now, I'm initiating conversations with people I know more and people who I've never met before. Another example: when I was at the gym today, I saw a guy with a Oregon ducks basketball jersey on and felt the need to ask him if he's a ducks fan. It went from casually talking about his favorite team to him wanting my contact info. I've noticed him workout all year long but today I actually went up to talk to him and get to know him which is what made this interesting.
I have probably approached at least 5 or more people (guys and girls) when I normally wouldn't have so far today. At this point, I'm almost feeling guilty for not approaching and talking to more of the attractive girls I see on a regular basis. Speaking of attractive girls...
They won't stop looking at me. They try their best to act natural but some of these girls will just try to stare as much as possible. When I was sitting with my friend today for lunch (the one I talked about yesterday), there was a 9 who just kept staring in our direction (wasn't the first time she did this with me) and after she walked out of the dining hall, my friend immediately was curious as to why she kept staring at us, especially since she has a boyfriend. Later, he told me that he thinks she was staring at him (I was laughing inside because I knew the truth).
Also, I seem to get a much greater impact with the more attractive a girl is. And girls with boyfriends are not off limits either. Seems to effect them a lot...
Overall, I am feeling the need to socialize, especially with the ones that have been looking at me a lot. I've definitely felt more confident with all of these looks but I shouldn't put too much pressure on myself when talking to these girls. I just need to have the "let the cards fall where they may" mentality and I think I'll be okay. I feel pressure but optimism at the same time. Just got to keep taking steps...
