RE: Guide to rolling dolo - Needed
I typically go solo to college bars. Preparation is simple: just be social during the day, work out, videotape yourself before going out so that you can see yourself in motion and see how your clothes are fitting. The reason for all that is to establish a base layer of social energy that you lack when you roll solo, as there are no friends to feed off of necessarily.
Immediately before going to the bar, I drink enough to get a nice buzz. You need to be very careful with this, however, as you risk overdrinking, getting drunk, and effectively destroying your ability to run game. I also buy a pack of cigarettes, since smoking is critical to opening up conversations with people.
When I get to the venue, I sit at the bar, talk to the bartenders and people sitting around me. If I'm not getting any action at the bar, I head outside for a cigarette and see who's out there. I continue this shuttle between the bar and smoking section until I am able to initiate a conversation with potential.
Also, on my way from smoking section to bar, or vice versa, I look for opportunities to run game on girls between the two areas. You want to be squeezing the venue for every ounce of potential. Don't be surprised if you smoke 15 or 16 cigarettes in a night with the constant moving back and forth.
A few traps I sometimes fall into when rolling solo:
1. Drinking too much: on a slow night, you might find yourself without conversation and staring at one of the TV's with only a drink to keep you company. I end up overdrinking and miss out on opportunities that randomly appear throughout the night.
2. See somebody I know (guy), talk to them for too long: usually happens when I haven't established my base layer of social interaction for the day, so I compensate by talking to anybody I know.
Hope this helps.

RE: Guide to rolling dolo - Needed
I've been rolling dolo for like 6 years, 95% of the time I go out. I used to be really shy so this was a big deal at first but now it's totally normal and I actually prefer it, although its cool to go out with my boys too.
assuming you get all the basics handled - groom, dressing well, and know how to approach girls with a compliment - the real issue is your state.
It's actually really easy to get into a social state and meet people - the key is to ease into it. I think of it as a ramp - I make small talk with people in line, dudes at the bar, etc. I don't hesitate - I want to get going on this right away before I get stuck in my head. Another reason not to wait to get warmed up is because a lot of times you'll see that ONE GIRL but you won't be ready and you'll talk yourself out of it.
Here's a typical scenario:
In line - to some guys standing in line ahead of you, "hey guys is this a good spot? cool. I just moved out here - trying to scope out the city a little." this will probably start a conversation, and you can say hi to the guys later on.
Get a beer at the bar - some girls are standing near you. "You guys look cute tonight. You're making the other girls look bad!" Say it with a big smile. They probably say thanks, or call you out on saying a line. Joke around with them and if you like a particular one, focus on her. don't linger - you don't want to be labeled as an awkward guy.
NOW its OK to fuck up and make mistakes, but the goal for now is to have light pleasant interactions, not to go hard and pickup girls...yet.
Do a lap around the bar, lock eyes with whoever looks at you and smile and nod and say hi.
Find a good spot to post up and sip your beer. Say whats up to the guys you met earlier as they pass by. get a round of beers. You're feeling good, you see you're 10 walk in with some friends. you see where her group settles, you walk over, and say,
"Hey there. I noticed you right away. You're easily the prettiest girl in here. What's your name?"
