Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can confirm, my cousin adopted me and introduced me to their friends.

LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!

[-] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

It's from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn't been that kid? lol).

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

I'm still waiting for this to happen...

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

[-] sep@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Same, but it was my cousin doing the dragging.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

Y'all got set up.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Same, but it was my cousin... doing the dragging.

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

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 1 year ago

I don't want the type of person I'd meet at a bar and there really aren't many events for things I'm into around me. The people I'd like are more than likely like me, hoping I'd teleport into their living room just the same.

I'm also in a terrible place for my personality. It feels like I'm in materialistic asshat conservative HQ, so there's that too...

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

[-] PapaIsolation@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Tbf that is helpful info

I remember being surprised to realize/remember that there are (were?) totally kids that will knock on a new neighbor's door to ask their parents if they could come out to meet them and play

Imagine.. taking action to put yourself out there and meet friends. That's kinda wild

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

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] match@pawb.social 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] tektite@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 year ago

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

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

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 23 points 1 year ago

Pls text before you teleport.

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

[-] PyroNeurosis 10 points 1 year ago

Have you not considered that you might run them off because you're a socially adroit cave creature that's out of their league?

[-] DeadWorld@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

You're right, I'm defeating my own cause. Better get back to the cave and start chanting

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

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

You wouldn't like the sound of it if I told you.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sounds like it's more hassle than it's worth.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm fucking waiting!!

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

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

[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]
