I just started reading/practicing some PUA stuff (and I'm still quite bad at it) but I see a lot of improvement in my lifestyle. This past semester was awesome. I met some girls, actually got an HB's number (first time I've ever done that.. and I'm 24 lol) and hung out a couple of times. Now, it's summer and I find myself sitting at home playing the Wii or my computer day in day out. I do mostly online freelance stuff so I don't need to go out.

However, I feel that my social life is seriously suffering. I really want to go out... I feel a physical need for it, but I have no idea how to. I live in southern California (but I have no local friends) and I have no idea how to begin going out or where. I'm not particularly scared of the idea, it's just uncomfortable going out of my bubble and also I have no idea where I could go by myself (maybe I'd feel a bit weird, too, I dunno)..

Any advice is appreciated

There are loads of things to do.

Friends are very important but you do not always need them to go out. Since you are a beginner though, you should have some friends to go out with. Everyone feels weird by themselves. It is just a natural human emotion. I've been to parties and clubs by myself. I did feel odd, but it gave me a good opportunity to focus on myself and my own game.

First, to get confident and used to being around people, you should join a gym. This will keep you very fit and even make your body look good. Who knows you might even meet a guy friend or a girl here.

If you are looking for friends, join a social group. Social groups can be found online. These include music enthusiasts, sport enthusiasts, writers, artists, etc. There are way too many groups that are meant for socializing. For example, if you like sports, you can join a weekend baseball or basketball team. The limits are endless.

If you are not a PUA, you are a noob.

Where in SoCal do you live in? If you are in the LA or San Diego area there are million of things you can do. One of which is go to the beach.

As stated, join a gym, go have hour workouts, naturally you'll be speaking to more people when you need a spot, or see the same faces or asking them if they have finished with certain weights.

Do you like sport? It's great, builds a social circle etc.

Challenge yourself, go out, even if it's solo, run the game your learning, this'll break you from your shell and turn you into an all round better person.
