I'm lonely with no friends so I'm trying the "py yourself out there" advice. Despite being a tourist town, my town is actually boring as shit and is mostly populated by old people. Even online meeting groups are populated by them, so that's not an option. However a couple hours away there's an anime convention that'll be held a Little over a month from now. This also falls on the same weekend that my job is sending me there for a work trip. So I'm thinking after work Sunday afternoon I can check this place out. I've already decided that I'm going to go to this thing but what should I expect? How can I make more connections here? I know most if not all weeks have discords So I'm sure I can get a lot of their tags too if I hit it off with them.

Try to find a facebook group where where enthusiasts meet and ask if they're going and if you could tag along.
It's not so much a place to make friends especially when most people there are also live hours away, but it a great time and place to hook up with someone
This is the kind of plan that I would laugh at but I have a friend who went to an anime convention and came back to our home town with a girl. She literally just met him at an anime convention and came to live at his house. He knocked her up in no time after that too lol
What is his personality like?
He is a super nice guy. Moderately confident. A nerd. Never had a gf in high school and no rizz. Dumb as a box of rocks.
I think I'm moderately confident in the sense that I have no issue talking to strangers (when I have to, I work in retail). I'm 22 with no gf, friends, rizz, and basically no money. Do I have a chance?
I mean yeah you have a chance but its still a pretty stupid plan you could just go to a bar tonight and try to get a girl instead of putting your eggs in the anime convention basket.
I don't think I'd fit in at bars. They always go with a pre-established friend group so it wouldn't work. Idk what else I can do if anything and everything I try either fails or isn't good enough or is stupid like you say
Go to a bar retard
I say this as a girl that cosplays at convos, most girls at anime convos have mental issues.
So do I. I have no right to be picky given my current situation and lack of friends. What do I have to loose when I've already been alone for so many years? Crazy friends are better than no friends
Are you mentally ill too?
I've got some anxiety stuff.
So do i. Something are you so insistent that I not try? You people always say "just put yourself out there and socialize" then turn around and discourage the same people you claim to want to help. We can't win eveb when we genuinely try to help ourselves
>You people always say "just put yourself out there and socialize"
You know, you're absolutely right, that was extremely hypocritical of me. I apologize. Go out and have a good time, anon.
oh no hot nerd girls that use sex as a coping mechanism that sounds awful
Haha. It's usually dressing up as a fictional character to escape reality though.
Just ask for their instagram then DM them later or the next day it’s easy
