Dakotasunbeam -> MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/4/2007 11:56:11 PM)

Hey everyone, I was reading a couple of the forums about dating and relating and thought this might be a fun way to "Get outside of the Box." Lot's of people have been asking where to find a mate, should I date, etc.

It works like this--A mission is given about meeting, conversing, or socializing. Participants take part by accomplishing the ground rules established by the challenger. Example:


1. The Challenger presents a mission:


Your Mission, should you choose to accept it is to chat with someone in line at a grocery store. If you are male it must be with a female, if you are a female it must be with a male. It cannot be about the weather.

2. If you decide to participate you MUST fulfill all of the requirements that the challenger presents in the mission. You have to report back to the thread, declare the mission accomplished and tell us how it went. You must accomplish a mission within 7 days of posting (that just means you have to do it in a week). Even if you only chatted with a little old lady, you still have to report back on how it went, what you talked about, etc.--how you accomplished the mission. And since we Christians believe in walking the walk and not just talking the talk, the challenger has to accomplish his/her mission too within the week.

4. Marrieds are free to participate as long as they are able to accomplish all of the ground rules set forth by the challenger.

5. Before you can post a challenge you have to have completed the last Mission.

3. Everyone is free to give their opinions, ask questions, joke around, whatever. It's all for fun and learning.

Okay, so I'll be the first challenger . . .

Mission: Chat with someone in line in front of you at a grocery, department, retail, or drug store. If you are a man, you must chat with a woman and vice versa.

Happy Relating!

hey, this sounds to easy. I was just at the gas station pumping gas and a man was glairing at me. but I just walked away and went about my business.




Mrs.Above_All -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 3:51:14 AM)

Very interesting DS. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow. lol




Grace-N-Mercy -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 6:19:08 AM)

Very cool! I love it, and I'm up for the challenge! [:D]




derek_from_canada -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 12:19:14 PM)

Interesting mission... I talked to a female in the grocery store line up already...
But she was a grandma a few times over... Does that count? =)

... um, do they have to be eligible females? =)

Just in the cafeteria at work I had 'eye contact' with a fine looking lady and quickly looked away, then we both looked again, eye contact for 2 seconds passed, then I smiled, then she smiled. Then we passed and I never saw her again. *shrug*
Does that count as something or is that nothing? [;)]

What if we talk to someone after church at the doorway out? You know? the reception line just after the Pastoral handshake at the back of the church? =)
Does that count like a grocery store?


BTW, I think for shy guys, this kind of mission is great to exercise their "social muscles", I used to have to work hard at even getting the guts to look "eligible women" in the eye and smile at them. But I have developed the skin (sense of humor) and the muscle (confidence) to do it, and I try to keep up the habit.




mutinywxgirl -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 12:23:35 PM)

I'll have to wait for the next mission - I don't go to the store very often. [:o]




Grace-N-Mercy -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 12:36:33 PM)

Ok, I was at the grocery store this morning and I kept the challenge in mind. So who did I see? Hmmm. There were many retirees in the store, a few working ladies, and a handfull of just-out-of-highschool stock-boys. [:D] The clerk and the manager who bagged my groceries were ladies, as was the person in front of me. Looks like I'll have to go to the store again later.

Derek, I think I have an idea where she's coming from with her challenge. And yes, it's to exercise our social muscles. I'm formulating my challenge, so I won't give it away now. And I won't give it until I see people are really getting out there and doing this. But, it doesn't count if you just look at each other. You have to talk. Say more than just "hi" Oh, and no, they do not have to be "eligibles". They can be little old ladies (DSB even said so). They can even be married. Just talk and exercise your social skills.

Grace-N-Mercy -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 12:44:35 PM)

Oh, you know me toooooo well!!!!! Muahahahaha [sm=icon_smile_evil.gif]




Brenda-lee -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 1:22:57 PM)

OoO I love this one! This I can do~ If it is breathing I will talk to it [8D]

Rarely do I go anywhere and not talk to someone... I guess I am just a highly social extrovert! [:D]

I will do this... and share the results

GNM care to expound on your devious mission for our dear Lisa? LOLOLOL

O Lisa my girl, you are in trouble now [:D]




trainfan -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 1:23:18 PM)

I'll need to wait for the next challenge also, I go to the store way to early in the morning (7AM). At least I never have to wait in line. [:D]

I don't suppose talking to customers in my store counts.

Oh, but I haven't come up with it yet. And it wasn't going to be devious until she decided she was going to run away screaming. Now, I HAVE to make it clever. [8D]

Grace-N-Mercy -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 1:31:36 PM)

Oh, silly girl!! What, do you think I'm going to send you to the grocery store tonight to get the store manager's home number or something? Hmmmm. [8D]

This would be easy for someone like our dear Brenda Lee.

But I am not one for making small talk, so this might be difficult for me.




mutinywxgirl -> RE: MISSION POSSIBLE! (10/5/2007 1:32:34 PM)

Hey, it has to be something I'd be out doing normally anyways. And seeing that I don't do much, this might be harder than you thought. [8D]

I'm the same way. I don't do small talk, and when I get in the store, I have blinders on. I'm just going in for a few things, and then going home. Thus the challenge. Hey, there's people there. Talk to them!

This will be a challenge. Does something like: "Are you next in line" count. [sm=silly.gif][:D]

This is cool. But I'm nervous already. Oh, the pressure!
