So I have lots of friends at school, and I can tell I am at least well-liked, but for some reason I don't do anything social outside of school. My whole life I've been rather sheltered, and I want to go out more. I only have a few select friends which I do boring things with...

This is kind of embarrassing, but I don't know how to be proactive in this department without risking looking weird.

Saying something to someone like "hey are you free this weekend? Do you want to chill sometime?" to me would make the person seem likeI'm desperate or something. I'm not sure, but just hanging out with one other guy is kind of weird, especially just going to the movies with one other guy... I need to join a group of people but no one invites me to anything :(.

Sometimes you're just gonna not worry about looking weird and just ask. Besides, how weird can you look by just asking normal questions.

What do you mean by things? And do? Because things could get really weird. Or really sexy.

Play video games or watch TV and talk. Going to the movies with just one other guy seems awkward now that we're older, or is that just me over thinking things again?

I see what you mean but that's just the sort of thing you'd have to risk. Try getting a group of people in on it, just come up with ideas of what to do. They may end up thinking you're weird but they'll probably forget after a while. Being confident and outgoing is the only way to solve it, put your fabulous self out there :P

Once this guy asked me and a friend to go to a restaurant for lunch, and it just seemed kind of weird because we both didn't really want to go but at the same time we didn't want to just flat out say "no" because he was trying to make friends. I can apply the same concepts to me asking someone to hang out- it's possible they don't want to, but at the same time they don't want to just tell me no because they'll feel sorry for me, and in conclusion we'd be in an awkward situation.

That's always nice to know. From my social help topics it seems a lot of people feel the same way as me.

if you don't ask, you aren't gaining anything. And if they say no, you aren't losing anything. So bottom line, go for it, ask, you only have one life to live.

Although I would probably lose some confidence, I see where you're coming from. It's hard to convert logical thinking into an understandable thought tied with the appropriate emotion however.

Doing stuff with one guy isn't weird. Same way that a female doing things with one girl isn't weird.

I'm in a kind of sort of similar boat. I do have friends that I occasionaly hang out with, but asking people who I've never been out anywhere with to hang out ispretty muchimpossible for me even if we're friends, and even the people that I do hang out with they usually ask me.

I think you are over-complicating things. If you want to hang out with somebody, just say so. Nobody likes to sulk in isolation.

if youre talking to some friends and you play a sport or something bring it up during convo and just be like "we should play ball one day" use same technique for other hobbies too
