Hey guys, I've been meaning to get back out and do some girl searching here lately and there's a few bars around this (college) town to go to as well as some local get together spots like bowling alleys or hell, even just marching on to campus during the day and relaxing in the shade at the right time (between classes).

But here's my problem; from the title I'm sure you saw this coming but, I don't always have someone to go out with me and hang out. Granted if I went on to campus that's not really as big of a deal, but when I go into a bar alone or some establishment where people are generally clustered up in groups all over the place, I always feel like I stick out, and not in a good way. I don't draw attention to myself (which may be good or bad, I'll let you guys tell me), I don't "hide", I just kind of hang out...usually because I'm waiting on a friend to get there.

I've watched both seasons of the show and see how they do solo and how they jump from group to group or attract a group and work it until they can isolate, but I always feel like there's a constant DLV over my head from the second I walk into the place until friends arrive. Is that just an inner-game thing I need to reevaluate or is there some truth to that or am I just over thinking this whole piece?

I propose when you get to a bar start making small talk with the barman until you have a target, then you attack, so you don't have to be alone.

xavilonia has a point. you must ingage and make that small talk. thats a good way to get practice and loosen you up for a bigger target . Me personally i would choose a different venue.

When you see your target, just apply the 3 second rule, and you won't be alone nor in an awkard situation

I use to go with a wingman who studied PUA constantly. Now-a-days, I prefer to fly solo (my seduction technique is far better when I'm alone, and women seem more trusting).
For me, the key to flying solo is confidence and strong communication (all the other PUA rules apply--except for those involving a "wingman", of course). I have just a few really good openers to grab their attention, then I play off of other people in the target's group (most of the times, the guys love me and don't even realize I'm about to leave with their girl). The downside is that you have to be a little more careful about who you cock-block.
I saw another reply about the "3 second rule"--very good idea! If you move without hesitation and with confidence, flying solo can be more efficient if you know what you're doing.
