my story happend on a special night. it's a prom held by CSSA chinese student social associtation. i was pretty dressed up with my fancy suit and head to the place with my firends . the party is fun and full of beautiful ladies dressed up. through the crowd i saw a beautiful lady fit my taste. however , i' a really kind of shy guy who will not take the first step to social with somebody i meet for the first time. but from what we learned , we have to take initiatives to expand our networking. i finally made up my mind and stepped on to her.
i asked for a dance and she seemed kind of embarrassed (neither of us can actually dance). we have to try our best to follow the music and dance with it. it's kind of hard and awkward. so i started some topic with her like what's you major, something boring but normal people say when they meet for the first time.
it turns out that she's a sophomore here and older than me . we sat down at chiars around the room began to talk.
she tought me a lot of things like the campus safety and how she come over the tough first fremen year. as well some valuable suggestion . kind of feel pleased and comfort to have a beautiful lady expressing me some information and great stories about her. the awkwardness were gone and the atomsphere got warm and light.
i really learned a lot of useful information and some first-hand experience which i might have in this campus. really a good night!
Han,
ReplyDeleteIt's Good to know you enjoyed your night ;-) Parties are great places to meet some new people and expand your network. I personally enjoy meeting new people at parties too.
Here are my questions for you -
1.What do you think was the most valuable suggestion that you received that night?
Motivation: That advice could be very helpful for me.
2.Did you interact with any other people at the prom?
Motivation: I wanted to know if you had any other interesting interactions.
3.Are you still in touch with the girl?
Motivation: I’m just curious (and couldn’t think of another question)

It seems you had a great time at that time. I have several questions for you.
ReplyDeleteQuestion1: I'm wondering what you two talked about at the prom. What advice did she give to you? As I'm a freshman too, I also want to know some useful tips and advices to help me in my first year of University.
Question2: I'm wondering whether going to party is an effective way to build your networks. So if you have the chance to go to a party like this, will you be willing to go?
Question3: To build the networks, it is important to keep in touch with each other after the first meeting. So what is your next step to maintain the relationship between you and the lady you talked to in the prom?
Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhat is this party like in general? I want to know the place and the flow.
What did other people do? Because you only talked about this girl and I want to know more...
Do you two hang out after that? That is a good start of the relationship, and I want to know if you have stories after that XD..
It is good to see that you stepped outside of your shell and made a great step to networking. You not only made the first step to socialize, but you also danced which you said was kind of awkward. This shows a little extra effort in your networking. My questions for you are:
ReplyDelete1) How do you plan to keep in touch with her? It is good to start up relationships, but you have to keep them going.
2) Since you had such a good experience with this, will you continue to do things that you normally wouldn't?
3) How was the party besides meeting that girl? Did you make any other attempts to go up to people and socialize?
