I do not have any actual Hang Out friends.
I work around almost all women in the account job I am in.
I work for a services company that manages Lake Powell.

I have many hang ups on getting ladies,
Talking to them is really not an issue.

Actually, I sometimes joke, I am great counselor.

I live in a kinda small town, and though quite a few tourist come through , my day job ties me down too much.
Then when I am off work, ,y options are hang out by myself, or hang out at home.
My folks dont go out really.

My question is more, I feel like a weirdo being by myself, and I have always felt awkward trying to pick women up at stores or restaurants.
Does it hurt my life style I dont have actual friends I can hang out with, bs, and what not.
There is quit a bit to do here, its just i feel I am seen as a weirdo cause I am always by myself

That's a tough one and I understand. Maybe you could find a local bar/pub that has some pool tables and ask someone to go shoot pool with you?

That's what I'm thinking about doing and I don't really have any friends that live near me either. So who to ask? Well, that's the hard part I guess. It's a lot easier when you're a kid. You could just walk up to another kid and say "Hi, wanna be my friend?" and it usually worked out.

I've been reading and rereading the book "The Mystery Method" and I find that it is increasing my social intellect. I just did not know how to handle the pressure of meeting new people before, but now I'm walking up to new people with confidence and it's just not a big deal anymore.

I think the best advice I could give you is that even if you are spending time alone at your house or whatever, try to invest time into learning game and understanding social interactions. Eventually you might go to a sports bar and sit and watch a game with some other guy at the bar and strike up a chat over a similar love of a particular team or whatever. Who knows? You could find a wing in the future and not see it coming.

Hang in there bud and try to fill your time with events, people, studies etc that are interesting. Be your own best friend. Get to know God. Finally, become so comfortable in your own skin that you want to share yourself with other people because you are happy with the person you are becoming.

Best of luck.
