I look like I'm in my early twenties. I went to a couple of bars to practice approaching and public areas such as malls. Any suggestions for new locations? I'm in Toronto.

hey man. You should come to Montreal sometime. Its not as great as it was before the economic crisis and recession. Every night had some where to go plus drinking age is 18 here. I love Toronto as well so, when you turn 19, so many places are free. You can try coffee shops, famous players or cineplex, arcades, day game on front st, blue jays game, and pretty much try to get creative.

I lost some family and I've been battling my own personal demons ever since. This has taken a tole on my game but, I am getting back to it. I just picked up a new girl. Things are getting better and I am a stronger man for it. I hope it goes well for you.

ps: try university and college campus and the pubs.
