I know I'm gonna get hate, but I would like some input. I've always been someone with pretty good social proof. Fairly high smv, due to good looks and being good at art and having a lot of drug dealing friends.

I'm in college now and most of my friends I had moved away and I live alone. I have one group of friends that may be able to become drinking buddies, but I don't go out with them as of now. I work a lot and go to school. I meditate and try to stay consistent with some fulll body workouts while maintaining goals.

Everyone loves me at work and I feel validated socially when I am there. The trouble is feeling self conscious when trying to hang with girls. I can ace first impressions, which lead to a lay here and there. I don't have any plates because I can never keep the girls around.

My theory is that if I went out to drink with friends more that my problems would be mostly solved. Am I missing a different route? Are there bigger issues here? I feel like they lose interest when they realize I'm not going to be taking them out to drink with a group of friends.
