>I noticed today at the bookstore that I had everything planned out and I froze.. I couldn't do anything.. and stood there as I watched my target walk out the door.

I've been noticing more and more that planning everything out doesn't work. I can't count the times when I've seen someone who looked interesting, and I immediately came up with something to say... but didn't say it, because I had to stop... plan... then try and rally the courage to say something, which I ultimately never do.

The moments where I'm most successful talking to people are when I don't think, don't plan, and just spit out the first non-creepy thing that comes into my head. Like today I was trying to find my way out of a maze-like building where I had a class, and a bunch of classmates were following me. I heard them say something like "Let's just follow her" - and I managed, without thinking, to turn around and say "Hah! Like I actually know where I'm going." And then I got to carry on a short conversation with a (relatively cute) guy. I'd call that success.
