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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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!

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

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.

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

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

Is there another option?

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

[off topic?]

Wonderfully cheesy 1970s movie "Logan's Run" had a deal like that. Instead of just swiping on an image, people teleported to your house. If you liked each other you'd step off the platform...

[The movie has a brief appearance by Farrah Fawcett, which gives it high 1970s nostalgia appeal]

I'm waiting for that day.
