Yeah go alone.
My friends don't like trance either and I don't like bars. If I want to talk with friends and have some beers why should I waste my money on expensive beers at a bar/cafe instead of having cheap ones at home.
I dragged them a couple of times with me but all they did was "moan"? the whole time. Dude this is worser than having a girlfriend along with a headache or hurting feet.
So go alone hit the bar take a couple of tequilas and party. :) |

Lots of people go alone, I do it all the time. You're not going to look like an idiot or anything. But you're going to have to try to overcome your shyness and meet people if you really want to have a good time.
You might also want to look into what Wicked Neo recommended. I can't speak of the UKTAs but it seems like it would be a good way to meet people. |

Just go on your own! I used to loads when I first went clubbing as I didn’t know anyone who’d want to go...then I met the UKTA’s :nervous:
I usually get lost and end up wandering off on my own in a dazed and confused state anyway, lol. |

| six months ago i was in the same situation as you, none of my friends were in to the scene and i thought i'd have to put up with listening to dj sammy in e clubs that close at two o'clock for the rest of my life, I didn't want to go out on my own because like you, i find it very difficult to just walk up to someone and say hi. Then i discovered TA, posted about a night i was going to, and met the london guys, been out with them quite a few times since:) . I'm sure theres quite a few people up your way that go to the passion nights in coalville, just post a message, and go and meet them;) |

I was in the SAME EXACT position here in my university.
I come from PR and everyone of my friends is into that there, but here...no one.
So i figured Atlanta would be big in the scene, looking at the variety of shows they have here.
SO i joined up this site and started talkin to people in the forums.
I met tons of Atlanta TA's and now i club with them.
It's always good to go with people, even if you're going to meet some people. Try and get ahold of some TA's around your area ;)
Thats my advice, cuz it worked for me. :) |

| yeah well I almost did the samething. I moved to a place where I knew nobody, and to top it off, there is only one TA here besides me. |

Check the uk forum on here and attend one of the many many UKTA meet ups.
we all had to meet each for the first time at some point and all of the UKTA's are sound, very random and a great laugh.
I have had some of my best nights clubbing with the UKTA's :)

neo knows the score.
i often dissapear by myself once inside to go and see djs that other ppl dont wanna see ;) |

I actually haven't gone anywhere with someone in a long time - All the people I used to go out with just haven't gone out to see a DJ in a while...I'm actually more used to going alone, then with someone haha. But yea, you should go man, I goto parties in NY quite often (it's like a 3 1/2 hour drive each way), and I actually just attended this year's wmc in miami (i was there for 8 nights) all by myself as well - So i guess if you don't mind being alone then definatly go (If i didn't go out to see dj's because of the fact i was bymyself, then I would have missed the best performances and events i have ever seen)
I'm starting to ramble so i'm done :tongue2 |

well i know exactly where you're coming from, seems to be a common dilemma. thing is that the situation really differs for guys and girls. i think it's easier for men to go clubbing by themselves because:
1. you won't get hit on multiple times at night if you're by yourself at the bar having a drink.
2. you don't go to the bathroom in groups
3. you guys arent supposed to be as self-conscious as us (:p)
you shouldnt worry about looking like a twat cause youre queing by yourself unless you're planning to go to one of those clubs that you need a member of the opposite sex to go in with. plus once you're in there, after having had a few drinks, it's easier to just dance your way into people and meet them.
you see i have the same dilemma except honestly im too much of a chicken to go by myself. i finally have the chance to see my one true j.holden who happens to come to italy but is playing in a city 4 hrs away by train. that weekend is easter and all my mates have plans which im supposed to be in it to travel. id much rather go see him play but i dont know about going by myself... |
i sure you can con someone into going with you. ITS HOLDEN DAMNIT. if you dare miss him, i will shoot you. you know youll be all pissed off at yourself for not going. so in any case, call an escort service or something. :p seriously though, rent a bodyguard if necessary, but you must. |
