I'm thinking about going sarging by myself very soon, but I have a few questions about logistics and stuff.
1. I'm on a college campus, so where is generally the best place to start during the day?
2. When you sarge, is it bad to return to the same location again and again? I'm afraid that if I go someplace too often, I'll become the "weird guy who approaches people".
3. Let's say I close someone or eject from a set. What would I do next? I can't just go over to another set with the previous person watching me...
1. Probably hit up the cafeteria, common areas, and any other places people naturally gather.1. I'm on a college campus, so where is generally the best place to start during the day?

2. No not really. You get the benefit of gaining social proof as you know more of the regulars and the people that work there. You're not being the "weird guy who approaches people" you are being the "social guy that talks to everyone." So please change your mental perspective on that immediately.
3. Yes you can and you will. Here is the thing. When you get a close or eject from a set you go right on tot he next set. You are the "social guy that talks to everyone" men/women/grandma/whatever you talk to everyone. That builds your value and your social proof.
If you were just in a set with a woman and closed her you now have a hefty amount of "preselection" working for you and sets will open easier now. You'll be missing huge opportunities if you give up at that point.
Do this for you, because you really want to do it. You don't care what others think. Why should you let others keep you from your goals?
