Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.

Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend

It's really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.

A buddy of mine got his first girlfriend in college after a family friend noticed that his single niece also liked manga and anime and introduced the two. I was very jealous of his attractive, nerdy girlfriend-turned-wife for several years until I finally got on a dating site and found love for myself.

yes, because putting yourself out there just gets you yanked around by assholes -- ask me how I know.

Either Mr. Right will fall out of the great blue sky directly into my lap, or I'll die alone. But I frankly no longer have the will to really put effort towards that, anymore; and I can't fathom criticizing anyone else for deciding the same. Hell truly is other people.

I saw The Secret in high school and I've just been following its advice of wishing really hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought my problem was not going outside, but I recently saw a post about how most people meet online now.

So it turns out I just suck. That’s helpful to know

Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn't 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?

how else would i meet commander will riker, if not a transporter accident?

That post's gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

No, they can teleport to the driveway like a normal person, thankyouverymuch.

I mean, we are not 100% unfindable, we comment here on Lemmy! Normalize finding love through Lemmy (/jk).

Man I feel personally attacked

teleports behind you Nothing personal, kid.... But would you like to be the love of my life?

Ive been going out more and looking at it as practice for when I meet someone I actually like. Id hate to run them off because I'm some kind of cave creature who can't interact right

They better fuckin not!

My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it's not far fetched.

My spouse is a former roommate who more or less teleported into my living room.

...Along with 5 other people in a 2 bedeoom house.

But while it worked out for me I do not recommend it as a reliable strategy. We were lucky.

Nah. I'll just wait till I meet some other introverted, nerdy person. I already met a few.

Is there another option?

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

This actually works, but only if you are willing to sponsor a green card.

I'm fucking waiting!!

(Yet still need a notice, written notice, days ahead)

Ouch this one hurt, that's so fucking true 😔😔

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly

Sounds like an invasion of my privacy! I could be doing art at that moment, or some kind of lore deep dive. How rude to just teleport in like that!

They better have brought Mario Kart N64 game and setup with them if they are really my future love.
