Think of this as a bucket list for social experiments.

Approaching Experiments

1. Participate in the 30-day Rejection Therapy Challenge. My blog was solely about this experiment for 4 months.

Here are some good rejection posts:
Day 7 (Drawing Up Fun)

Day 36 (Fruit Gushers Enables Gushing Out Risk) *handed out Fruit Gushers.

Day 47 (Never Settle for Anything Less than You Want; Become Exceptional) *one of the hardest rejections.

2. Be able to meet 100 strangers (and beyond) through any median (online/offline) and blog about it. (27) Check out the the past meetings.

3. Flirt with 77 girls in 14 days. It’s an adrenaline rush. It gives me insight on small talk skills and how to overcome the creeper label that many shy guys don’t deserve. It’s more enjoyable that way. (I know of the pick up scene and feel that like anything else, there are pros and cons but we’ll get to that.)

4. Participate in Niall’s Random Acts of Courage.
IN PROGRESS 20/50 ROUND 1 ROUND 2

5. Act out Fabian‘s awesome suggestion(s) to me.

6. Say Thank You to someone everyday for a month. FINISHED

7. 30-Day Awkward Moments Experiment. I learned to accept awkwardness as a part of daily life by tolerating uncomfortable feelings and making them comfortable.

8. A post about OKCupid.

9. Go to one of the Likemind Meetups and go to one of the Meetup.com Meetups.

10. Couchsurf and/or Tripping.

11. Change. (We’ll get there.)

12. Pay for someone in front of me.

13. Pay for someone behind me.

14. Hand out free high fives for an hour.

15. Hand out 100 fliers in a day. An interesting experience where most people thanked me for personally handing out the flier to them.
