Basically I have about 8 friends. Almost all of them cannot go out because they are busy or they have a GF or they are in trouble for DUI or they are broke, or whatever reason.

So if i want to go to the bar to practice my game, I basically have to do this by myself. my daygame is stronger (ive been practicing opening and # closing) because in daygame you can get away with being alone. I think my nightgame is going to be improved as well but the fact that i dont have anyone to go out with has been holding me back lately. I am willing to give this a try though, If you guys think its do-able.

If I dont have any friends @ the bar, can i approach a group? or should i just look for the semi-non-existant girl whos alone @ the bar?

there is karaoke on wednesdays and usually there is like 6 girls in there singing and shit and almost no dudes or one or two dudes. how to handle this?

If you want to go to a bar alone why wouldn't you? Do what you want it's cool I go alone sometimes if your confident and use a good frame you can do whatever the fuck you want lol. Definetly go, be social to chicks and dudes make friends then you will have people to go out with. Have fun Man!! lol

I am not proficient at this but I have done it some time now. I am a newbi just so you know.

I am almost in the same boat. Most of my friends are either broke or what not. I always approach a group of people as a group. I don't try to single out a girl right away. I basically say "hi can I sit down here" or something like that. make fun of something I see.. talk about whatever they talk want to talk about.. make sure they talk more then me.. Just make sure you have fun and that you feel/act like you have known them your entire life.

It is kind of a parade of your personality. Everybody is a superstar in their own life

You can also tell quite fast if the girls like you or not. I usually leave them alone if they really don't like me and they are with a big group of friends(I don't know what I am doing lol)

sometimes when I see a girl that is bored I walk up to her and say something like. Hey it's illegal to be bored at the pub etc.. She will most likely be happy that somebody wants to talk to her..

First time you approach a group can be hard but this part is easy when you have done it a couple of times.

so.. that's how I do it.. have fun.. never bite anyone.. some of the guys might try to bite you of if they feel threaten .. don't worry about it. I usually pretend like I didn't hear it when that happens or brush it of with a joke.. Never ever ever ever get angry about anything. angry=game over.

dunno what more to say.. alot of the stuff I have said here is probably wrong according to theory.. I started doing this a month or two back. I used to be a gamer geek before. Had a girlfriend for 5 years.. she dumped me about 2 months ago. now she is trying to get back together with me but I don't want.

I guess you just have to crash a couple of times. just don't get angry or take anything personal and you will be alright. good luck

Going alone to a social place like bar is a huge power. It all depends on how you present it to yourself, if you feel comfortable with it the environment will be fine with it either. I tried it a few times lately and of course it's harder that going with a friend, but after a few times you get used to it and understand how powerful it is. I think that many people here will also agree that when you go out alone, you learn much more and make a bigger progress.

I go out alone quite frequently, a few years ago that was an issue for me too, but right now I can't even imagine why I felt bad about it in the past, I guess it's just a matter of practice

So, to answer the question, do you look for girls who are alone or do you open sets?

Both, I never really cared about set or single, but girls going out alone is very very rare anyway, so 99% would be sets

ok cool, thanks for that. I am going to try that this tuesday. any good openers for 2 girl or 3 girl groups?
