Amazing dude not many will go out solo good stuff, a lot of positives in this.

You raised an interesting point as well you don't have to pretend you're waiting for your mates or looking for them. If you're confident and having fun, just say you're alone, you get massive respect from chicks. I very rarely say I waiting for mates these days, the last comment I got was 'you're brave', however acting like a AFC and this can easily be 'oh how sad'.

Well done, like the school disco comment I might use that myself hah
