I recently turned 21 (my birthday was May 12th) and I just broke up with my girlfriend, so I am looking for pointers with going out to bars/clubs alone. I have friends, but they are all either in a relationship or socially awkward, so I have no choice but to go out alone or meet other wingmen. Matter of fact, if you are a younger guy in the Philadelphia area, feel free to PM me.

Last time I went out to the bar was with one of my best friends and I literally only talked to one girl (who I recognized from high school) and she was with another guy. Meanwhile, I could of talked to a multitude of other girls who were interested. Obviously, my friend didn’t help because he is extremely awkward. So I ended up just getting drunk, which was boring. Generally, I am a pretty confident guy and I don’t have trouble approaching women at college parties. But since It was my first time at a bar, I guess I also got a little intimidated.

I want to go again and actually have success, but I am looking for tips on how to go about it. Do I buy a cute girl a drink? Do I talk to some other guys first? Is it necessary that I bring someone with me? Girl or guy? Please give me some tips
