Hi's and Hello's

It's really hard for me to approach someone just to make friends. I'm really shy when it comes to people, even talking infront of them would give me the jitters. I don't come to people, I let them come to me. That might sound odd, and a bit egotistic but that's just me. So I would describe myself as a static person; just waiting for someone to come over me and he/she would be the one who initiates the first move. Pathetic right?

That's why it's hard for me to write this mini study about "Uncertainty Reduction Theory". It was even difficult for me to pick that one person that can serve as my specimen, my little white mice that I can easily manipulate(joke).No I'm not being mean, I just like associating it with scientific stuff.(hehehehehehe)

So, lets start talking about the said study that I conducted......


This particular person studies BA Communication Arts, like me. She is probably conducting the same study as me but atleast she wont know I'm conducting a study about her. Of course this person and I aren't that close. Our relationshp limits to simple "HI'S" and "HELLO'S". We do talk but not that often; the conversations we had happened by chance. Our conversations range from the dance practices that we have had down to our silly talks about our crushes. I don't know much about her but I do know she's nice and accomodating.

Now, the goal is to increase our closeness so that we would get to know each other a little bit better. So, my strategy is just to act natural, and not too lucid; I wouldn't want her to find out that i'm trying so hard. JUST BE NORMAL......



The study began when we finished our practice, that was last week, particulary friday. We were really hungry after that exhausting practice. I was planning to eat at the canteen so I invited her and some other friend. We were walking through the dark path when she suddenly squeaked. She told us that something had moved in the grass, I just giggled a little bit and thought that she was really getting hungry. So we walked as fast as we could and hurried into the canteen. We were about to order a meal when my other friend told us that he will just go to the comfort room but he said that he will be right back(he did not). So he left us there.......
At that time, we were so hungry that we ordered a bunch of food to fill us up until morning. We sat, placed our meals over our tables and began eating. Silence was evident in that table, it was probably the hunger that left us speechless. So our conversation began after our meal, which was not surprising at all. Our conversation have gone from our crushes(again) to my siblings;a topic which I don't share much about. She also shared lots of things about her highschool life, stuff that I could totally relate to. She also told me about her past relationships in highschool. I had found out so many things about her and she also did about me.....

I guess my strategy had worked right??????
So the next time we bumped into each other it's not probably just saying our "HI'S" and "HELLO'S".....It would be even better.....
