Hello. I’m kinda new here and this isn’t something I found in the Wiki, but I feel it’s a valuable topic to discuss. How do I go out alone? Like, go out downtown on a Friday/Saturday night; go out to a club or a bar or someplace similar by yourself without a wingman and actually get the confidence to chat girls up? What do I even talk about? Is it even possible given that I’m not Mr. Social?

A little background about me: I’m 30 years old and for the first time in my life I actually have a lot going for me. I’m an engineer, I’m pretty fit, relatively good looking, and last year I bought a place in this hip downtown neighborhood. There’s lots of young people, lots of college girls and I’d love to get to know some of them.

The thing is, I’ve struggled with making friends all my life, not to mention talking to girls. I have like two (pretty shitty) friends, not the type that would ever consider making the time to go out with me. I’m also really bad at making conversation, but that is something I’m actively working on thanks to this sub. However, it’s not an overnight thing and I still struggle with confidence issues and approach anxiety.

So, with that said, is it worth it? Am I better off trying to chat girls up during the day, grocery shopping or somewhere else?
