Moving to new town- any of you guys go out by yourself?

[captain55]

Just got out of a breakup about two months ago, I'm still not completely over it but I know the last thing I should be doing is sitting around thinking about her. Problem is that I don't know hardly anyone out here yet.

Any of you guys hit the bar/club scene by yourself?

No. I work long hours. In my spare time I train, housework, & see my girls, friends whatever.

I would advise joining a sports team, gym, & yeah go to the local bars & start interacting with people. Making the first move is the hardest part. I remember I was in a new bar in town waiting for my date. I was stood at the bar by myself & thought hmm I would create a better first impression if I was talking/interacting with someone, so I saw a table of four guys. Doubt crept in making me think they could think you're a weirdo blah blah, but I crushed my doubt & approached them asking them if they worked for a certain building company as I had noticed their accent, had a good conversation then my date arrived impressed with my social skills. < that was a great start with her.

I do best when I go out alone. When I go with other guys I drink and bull**** with them and generally act a fool. When I'm alone I get down to business.

Generally I go to places where I can dance and just keep moving. Find me one and get her to dance and see if she smiles, asks my name, pushes boobies against me. Any of those things and I'm usually in. Got it down to a science. So I'm usually only alone an hour or so.
