How important is it to have my own place?

I really wish I did and honestly I feel like I start dates/nights out a leg behind even though I really try to progress anyways. So I'm 26, and I'm working on my masters degree in engineering while working as an intern part time. I make roughly $700 a month (I work as much as doesn't put a lot of stress on me, I can increase hours but that'll also increase stress). A semi-decent place in my area costs about $800 a month (not including all the car/food/cellphone/utilities bills etc i'd have to pay for). I have some savings but I also have student loans to payoff so I'm hesitant to touch that. Living with my parents is just so not conducive to seduction, as well as living in the suburbs being terrible. I'm looking for full time work but I've had no luck so far (in year 4 of looking, hoping that turns around after I finish my masters of which I have 1 year left on). Once I find a full time job I can easily comfortably find my own nice (not just semi-decent) place....but it's already been years. Is it worth it to just get my own place? And no my parents are not cool with me bringing girls over and no I don't have anywhere else I can take them.

I have my own place for the past year and it's difficult to say it's not a positive.

Early on most girls seem to ask "...so.... you live with roommates?" and you won't believe the smile across their face when you say you have your own place.
I think it's had it's advantages in moving fast when a girl already knows you live alone... she doesn't have to awkwardly stop and ask or wonder who else is in the house or if she'll be heard or bumped into... it's just you and her.
I mean, I guess it also give you value, something that makes you appear a little more successful (almost nobody lives alone in my city, it's expensive so living alone is unique.) but don't boast about it, if asked, just answer "yes".

The only warning I give is this:
This is NOT the be-all-end-all of game. Don't have your own place? YOU CAN STILL MEET GIRLS!!! Don't make silly decisions, you're still a student, nobody expects you to have your own place and it sounds like it'll hurt you right now to try afford it so hold off man, until the time is right.

Despite the positives I mentioned, it's not a silver bullet, you can get girls without this. It's like asking "Does the guy with the Ferrari get laid?"....
... the answer is "Not, if he's the douche walking around the club jangling his Ferrari key-chain at anyone who will look... but if he's a cool guy and the girl likes him, it doesn't hurt his chances when she sees his car as they go to drive home".

:) I actually used this as an opener early into my seduction career, as part of an experiment to see what could possibly get girls to open and what couldn't. Although, the car keys I was dangling were Subaru keys... even if I said they were keys to a Ferrari.

Scofield, if you have a car, you already have one escalation location: the backseat. If not, there's probably a hot tub place somewhere in your area - do some searching. End your dates there, get a private hot tub for an hour, and have at it. If for some reason there isn't... there's always a secluded park or a wooded area somewhere in town you can take a girl for a little adventuring. It's a bit cool right now, but it'll warm up soon enough.
