I'm sick and tired of organising nights out with my mates and having them all bailing out on me at the last minute. Fucks sake. I evidently made the wrong friends in secondary school, not that they're bad blokes - they're just incredibly boring - and now I'm totally suffering the consequences.
This is the Summer after my A-Levels, I should be going out and getting totally hammered and clubbing the nights away before Uni kicks in. I'm going to be studying Law so I'm guessing I wont have a large amount of free time once my course starts and that's why it's so painful seeing the summer slip away. Last night was the final straw as I was supposed to have a party of some 12+ people meeting with me to go to the Gardening Club's free entry Student Night in Covent Garden. How many turned up? 1. And he didn't even have ID to get in. The whole thing was a total wash-out.
/rant
Being on your own in a nightclub sucks because you look around and there are just lots and lots of groups of people. Does anyone here have any suggestions as to whats a good club in London with a friendly atmosphere to meet new people? Or maybe advice on having a good night out on your own? I don't hold up much hope for the situation (I have a good 8 weeks left of nothingness), but comment please.

Oi, cockfoster, I'm not boring. Sometimes things are just impossible to do.
May the power be with you. I'm sure they'll be some things comming up soon.

your friends are all a bunch of arseholes and they probably know it too. don't let it get you down. they'll get what's coming to 'em.
personally, going out alone to a bar is pretty impossible for me, but when there's some "IDM PARTY" i dont mind at all.
dunno about you. i would just drink at home and tell all your 'friends' to sod off if they call or email.

maybe your friends dont like going to studenty clubs. they are really fucking awful after all. also you havent organised properly if you get there and only one person turns up. someone like you will probably love university and fit right in so dont worry about it, have a muller fruit corner and relax

I had to do Glade practically alone, as I got a last minute second hand ticket from a friend of a friend, and went with a bunch of people I barely knew. I met I_x_ten, though, so all was lovely.
The point is, raves and such can be fun alone.

i guess to do things on your own, you have to:
be confident enough to not feel like a loner, or not be bothered by it.
OR
be confident enough to spark conversation with strangers and quickly socialise with others.
OR
Get a gameboy.

i kinda wanna go to london. i doubt i would have a good time, since i'm a neurotic nerd with the habit of drinking too much once i get going. i'd probably star in a few "happy slapper" videos by the end of the week.
although actually seeing good music out more than once a year might be a positive side. maybe i could even ambush some poor, unsuspecting xltroglodyte. i think i'd only go if i had someone to go along with me, though. travelling by yourself seems like it's reserved for autistics and businessmen.

I goto glamour/tranny clubs for laughs alone, everyone is friendly and what not. Im serious, if you want a good time goto a gay club or somewhere with addictive dance music so you can hang around with weirdo bohemians. I know if I where at a 'hip hopish' club i'd be totally screwed because im the antithesis of that culture, whereas in my interests in music taste I can afford to be a lone ranger, and suprisingly - You can pull girls even if you're alone (nothing to lose, no social reputation holding you back, no humiliation if it backfires).
If its bothering you, just take an E man.

Yeah, being alone is better for pulling, there's nothing girls hate more than a big group of beered up lads.

I think that's a good idea, thanks. I also think I'll be sticking more to raves and gigs, rather than going alone to bars.
