3-4-1 update

I have been using my 3-4-1 technique (when I get into a conversation with anyone, I must ask three questions about the person, and give one genuine compliment).

Yesterday at breakfast, I forgot to ask the server three questions, it was my first go and I almost forgot to do anything at all, but I did tell her that she looks very good in green. Our server had dark hair and I really did think the green shirt went well. I was not hitting on her. Jenny was there moderating. Just kidding, she does not moderate, she was just eating her toast. We ate at a really cool cafe, by the way, called the No Worries Cafe. No worries!

Then tonight I met some of my sister and bro in law’s friends. I didn’t compliment them, but I drilled them with questions, giving them an opportunity to talk about theyselves. They told me about their new ski boat (it’s 24 feet long with a little bathroom and stairs), about his Harley (it’s a ‘94), and about their history (He is from TX, but loves Idaho) They loved it.

In both cases, I think I really made my subjects very happy. It felt good and I felt nice and liked. I love my new experiment. It’s great fun! I still need to start asking three questions and offering one genuine comment, all to one subject. I’ll let you know how it goes. I am liking this.
