Hey getalife

Firstly bro good on you for getting out there! I have tried going solo myself a few times and know how incredibly hard it is.
This may not be the best advice but If you are really as socially awkward as you say you are maybe take things in small steps?
Like for example, go out for a few weeks - not too long or you'll get into a comfort zone - and say to yourself, I'm going out to have a good time BY MYSELF - me and my mate call it going into "observing mode" put focus on what is going on around you and not how you are feeling. Grab a drink find a table, sit relax chill and people watch but not too creepy. Smile. Act like you are having a good time. Get comfortable with being in the social situation first before you try sarging. you don't need to force yourself to talk to anyone unless you want to. do this for a few weeks and gradually build up confidence to approach.. if you are comfortable with the environment then you can focus on getting comfortable with the people
Hope that helps dude

pick a bar that is busy and you can blend back into it a dance floor where you can watch chicks - chicks like being watched dancing aslong as you smile and don't have a creepy look on your face
