Give tips, knowing that you have skills to do it doesn't help.

I’m about to go to a bar by myself, so you’re not alone homie. I don’t know if I should approach someone or let them approach me but I’ll try to keep to myself and not but in conversations. Good luck 👍🏼

Sit at the bar! Talking to bar tenders can yeild some super cool stories, plus lots of people constantly coming up so chance to meet other people is high. Lots of people go alone. Goto a neighborhood or more upscale bar.
Used to frequent a pretty nice bar with hot bar tenders. We would drink after close and it was free. Owner would come in and hang out too. Fun times!

Ask them about their weirdest story

I have a bar downstairs I go to alone all the time. I know all the regulars and staff.
Pick a bar or two, go fairly regularly and you will make friends. I’ve been to several parties at regulars and bartenders places. I’ve also dated several bartenders and servers.

Of course it is weird.
Just as it is weird to wake up at 3 am to workout ... but that's why some people are professional athletes.
Just as weird as playing the piano for 10 hours a day ... but that's why some people are better at playing the piano than others.
Of course man, if you expect to have the results only 1/10 of guys have, you may have to do stuff that's not normal. The sooner you accept it, the better.

Easy. Sit close to the bartender and chat him/her up
[–]diaanon125 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
And make sure to introduce yourself and learn the bartender's name!

So I’m a Uber driver and on Thursday I drove this young girl to the bar, we were talking and she said she was going alone to get a drink and do some dancing. I told her that’s pretty cool and I wish I had courage to do that. She invited me to come out with her but I declined, but she give me insurance that you can just go to the bar and just have fun by yourself. Most likely no one is going to notice you are alone and if they do I’m pretty sure no one will make fun of you or make you fell awkward. Think about have you ever made fun of someone for being alone?

Good point. Guess I just have to break out of my shell a little.

Let me put it this way if a girl you were attracted to was at the bar alone, would you care? Same thing from a girls p.o.v for the most part, they do have safety issues that men dont usually.
That said I go out alone and have been for 25 years and prefer it, unless its a group of girls.
Forces me to talk to people, less competition, no need to waste time "winging", no one asking to go to different spots, etc.
In the 25 years I have been doing this I have had maybe 5 ask "where my friends were". This is a bad sign, this means: A. "You should go find them and leave me alone."
B. "Your not attractive to me I want to see if your friends are better"
C. Shit test.
If this happens I say "they left" and thats it.
My advice for going solo is:
Go to crowded places and no one cares, usually they are busy in there own world.
Go during busy sports events. Nfl is prime playoff time, easy opener is "what team are you going for?"
Have good energy before you enter the scene. Be social with everyone dont be a wall flower.
Hotel lobby bars are pretty good for solo.
Be well dressed, groomed, social.

Is it unusual? Yeah, it's unusual. Unless you're the middle-aged alcoholic that goes to the same bar every day to hide from the fact that he hates his life.
But that doesn't matter to you. What you want to know is if it's ok for you to go out to bars to build your life. Yes, you can. Just be careful that you don't become the middle-aged alcoholic that knows everybody in one bar.
You want to be the guy that can walk into any bar and get to know anybody. That's a skill that will serve you well. So... approach, approach, approach.
P.S. A wise man once told me that nobody goes to bars for the alcohol; it's way cheaper and easier to drink at home. People go to bars for the social atmosphere. They're there because they want to have fun with people. If you help them achieve that goal, they'll be glad to meet you.

I can't pull this off like I would feel super weird being alone at my table when everyone around are with friends

The only time I can do it is when there’s a big game to watch on tv
[–]rafr256 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I always think it’s weird for me to go to the bar and then I get there and realize no one cares.
Think about it, when I meet people who go to a bar alone my first reaction is respect
[–]Scoliosissucks 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’ve done it. Depends where your going and where you live etc. I’ve made friends with the bartenders. It can be nice sometimes. Until creepy people bother you. That’s a whole other story
[–]AnAngelOfVengeance 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Better to roll solo and than to roll with shit wings that will try to steal your sets. Find the guys who run the place and make friends with them, ignore their girls at all costs. Finding a good guy wing is 10x harder than getting laid, but a good one will get you 50 girls over the course of your friendship with him.
[–]BetEnvironmental1225 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I always use the
“can I pretend to be friends with you guys til my friends get here”
It’s great because you’ve given a reason for being on your own and also it’s easy for them to say yes because you will leave when your “friends get here”
[–]1hatethis 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Nah that’s bad advice. Dude I met sometime ago pulled this on me and my buddies and it very soon became obvious that he was lying. Lost any respect I had for him. Be honest with people they’ll respect you for it
[–]PLEASEYALE_ 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What do you do when they ask where your friends are at later?

[–]spoolrek 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
my follow up question would be: what is the first thing you do once you arrive there?
I’ve never gone to a bar alone. Always with friends. But they seem to be pretty busy these days.

If you are a beginner, get a wingman, and if your wingman is a hot/sociable female friend that's the best.

It’s actually normal tbh. I prefer to be alone, that way you’re in full control of talking to the girl. You can’t control how a girl feels about you’re wing.
You’re girl might be interested in you, but her friend may not be interested in you’re wing. Then it becomes a battle of finding the perfect set.
I had a pretty bad situation that happened yesterday. I was talking to a girl (girl A)in the bar and she was completely ignoring me, and my buddy was talking to the other(girl b). However, he said something that was directed at the both of them and it caught my girls attention. So now he’s talking to my girl and I’m talking to his girl.
Now we’re talking in a cross. So I slide him over to my old girl (girl a) and I talk to his old girl (girl b). Guess what happened, I winded up pulling girl b and it caused some friction between us because he wanted to pull together. Girl A was just not having any of our bullshit.
I say all this to say, I’m gonna be going out alone because I don’t want that happening again, and I feel like I’ve been winging and losing so many sets with my buddies because either they drop the ball, I fucked up, or the girls not into one of us.
It’s the only way for some real results. Unless you and you’re wing on the same page.
To answer you’re actual question though, go to the bar, get a drink or a water from the bartender and chop it up with people around you. This allows you to build a social circle within the club. People you can fall back on.
Then you can do some approaches but then keep building up you’re social momentum and value in the club by making friends with everyone.
Smile, dance and show good vibes, and people will see you’re having a great time. Girls will gravitate towards that and soon you’ll be getting signals. This allows you to make you’re approach easy.
Also can’t stress this enough and that’s to talk to guys as well. It helps you remain positive.
This is how I’ve done it when I was alone.
