Good spots for pick up that I find, (me being younger) are malls, near movie thetures, highschool, really anywhere with girls, clubs would he great, too bad I'm too young. A wing is helpful but not needed, they can help you isolate your target by distracting the friend. Can you pick up without a wing, sure, I do. But if you can get one, go for it, I use my buddy when I go 9s or 10s. Also, day game is best in big cities, but where your at sounds fine, although, you might not see the girl again, good practice and 1 night stands
happy hunting bro
