Hey guys, I'll try to keep this quick and to the point.

I'm 21, live in a small town and never been to a club. I've been to a bar once and it was only for about 10 minutes. My buddies have settled down with their girlfriends and like to spend their weekends cuddling on the couch and watching movies. So its been very uneventful for the past few months. I've always been the type of person that needed other people to have fun, so I'm trying to change that.

The town I live in is an hour or so south of Orlando,FL. Its a retirement community with very little night life. Anyway, my Aunt has an empty rental house in Orlando that shes letting me use for the weekend and I'm going up there till Sunday after work tomorrow. By empty, I mean completely empty, only a microwave and refrigerator are there. No furniture or beds. So I'm taking my inflatable mattress, a few pillows and my blanket.

I've never traveled by myself before to a bigger city or ever stayed anywhere by myself. I've always had either friends or family with me.

I have an annual pass to Seaworld from earlier in the year. My plan is to go to Seaworld, Downtown Disney and local malls during the day to practice approaching and at night I want to go to City Walk and go into their clubs and try to get some experience for night game under my belt.

I'm going up there to force myself out of my comfort zone and grow. I don't expect any miracles or even to get very far, pick up wise because I'm still a noob at this and never done anything like this before. I can't help but feel that I maybe taking this a little far, but I imagine it will be a good experience in the long run and will test my inner game a lot. I figure, if I'm going to do this, I'll go for broke.

So I was wondering if anybody had some last minute advice or words of wisdom for me?

Thanks guys!

You have a perfect mindset. This is exactly how you should view your life in all areas. By forcing yourself out of your comfort zone, you expose yourself to new experiences that can seem threatening, but that could be very rewarding in the long run.
Becoming comfortable is a very physical feeling, you have to stay in the zone long enough for your body to become comfortable and in control, it might take some time and it might seem frightening or pointless, but it really is a physical feeling.

Sometimes you might end up telling yourself, why am I doing all this, why can't I just do what everyone does and stay in my comfort, they seem happy like that. At that moment you have to remind yourself that every great man that has lived on this planet overcame his fears the way you did, and with luck in the mix, was able to achieve memorable things.

Mark Twain once said
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do."

Go for it bro, because you actually have the physical capacity and will to do it, but that wont last long.
