To summarize, when I go out with the intent to get some, I often end up just hanging around one area without any proper direction in mind. I occasionally sometimes even do something like walk into a shop, hang around for about 2-3 minutes then leave, just to give some impression that I'm not just walking around aimlessly. It feels especially awkward when there are lots of other people around, then I feel like it's super-obvious to them what I'm out and about for.

In short, I'm not sure how to do it. Do I go out with a plan in mind like "I'm gonna go to A, then B, then C, then get on the bus and ride back home", and just try to chat up girls while I'm in the process of getting where I want, or was I right to just step outside and walk around with fuck-all in mind?

'Cause that didn't work too well today, but then again, there weren't that many attractive girls around, it was ether plump middle-aged wives with their kids or school girls, and I'm not going within 10 feet of anyone under the age of 18 (even though 16 is technically the legal age).
