Hey San. My grandfather is from Sorrento, whoop whoop.
Yes, you can game without a social circle. It definately helps to have friends to go out with and stuff though, so you really do wanna work on that. When I go out to bars or whatever, I always have people with me - but I always approach girls by myself, and I rarely bring them into my group. So, it wouldn't really matter if they weren't there. Same with during the day, if I'm out with people I tell them to sit tight so I can go talk to a girl and I don't mention that I'm out with anyone (they never ask). You'll find that if you're out by yourself in any situation, girls aren't gonna assume you have no friends, cos if you can approach and talk to them, the confidence behind that suggests that you're a social guy.
Nobody is paying enough attention to you to really care if you're by yourself anyway. If you walk into a club by yourself, people assume your friends are already inside... just talk to random people, say stupd shit and randomly high five them or whatever. Get vibing and have some fun, talk to some girls without trying to hit on them then once you're in the swing of things up the ante and start gaming.
You can build a social circle this way aswell. I've seen random people I talked to in clubs when I've been riding the bus or in shops or whatever and exchanged numbers with them, and gotten random party invites and stuff. Alternatively, you could join a club or something or start hanging out with people from school/work. Once you get to know a girl better she won't care if you don't have many friends, and if she thinks it's weird and doesn't wanna spend any more time with you then she's not the sort of person you wanna be with. After all, you want her to like you for who you are.
