Going to clubs / bars solo...

[ay1128]

well first of all... i hope everyone had a happy holiday... i was pretty excited about the winter break, but unfortunately most of my good friends went traveling during this week; so i'm basically left in LA almost all by myself with too much spare time to kill... today is the 26th, so i hit up some stores around Melrose "American Rag CIE, Opening Ceremony, etc" to see if there's some sales... well now it is night time and i'm really considering going to a club or a bar solo since there isn't really anything else better to do. i've done it a few time while i was in Asia for vacation and had a pretty good time, but i've never done it in the state before. I always went in groups here in LA, but now, i really have no other choices...but i'm holding back a bit, since i don't want to be that CREEP over there by himself ;D. i was just wondering if any of you people here on the forum have done it or have any other idea on how to kill time...

I have done it (all over Latin America, never really in Asia or Europe). Usually leads to lots of drinking at the bar, followed sometimes by dancing if I get drunk enough, some flirtation and the occasional hookup. I'm glad those days are over, but by all means go for it. Part of the reason you are going to a club or bar and paying higher prices is to meet people and flirt with strangers after all - if all you ever do is hang out with your friends, you are somewhat defeating the purpose (especially when its a big group of guys). There are no doubt advantages to having wing-men but there can also be disadvantages, and a guy drinking alone at the bar is not such an unusual sight - you're only a creep if you act like one.
