OKay,,, So. I have a really hard time making actual connections with people, and have only ever really had surface level friendships with others. I’m of course very grateful for my friends and all, but i’ve come to realize that this way of living will only lead to me being sad and alone as an adult.
There’s this guy in my class whom i’ve talked to a couple dozen times, played roblox with and share common interests with. Although all this sounds good enough, we can’t call each other friends - just because (I feel like) none of us have really taken that initiative and are both scared to (it’s especially hard in this generation, since it would be considered weird) actually show that we would like to hang out. And to fix this, I’d really like to begin taking the initiative and actually ask him. If I don’t do that and just expect friendships to automatically come into my life, like I said, i’ll be alone forever.
I have a little plan of how i’m going to do it. I’ll ask him to come with me to a quiet spot, maybe just outside the classroom or something, and just be fully honest with him.
''Sorry to drag you out here, I just wanted to ask you something. I wanna begin making more friends, take the initiative and be more honest with myself and others. So i’d like to ask you to be my friend.''
It will hopefully flow more naturally that what’s written, but that’s what i’m gonna say. Then, if he says yes, i’ll ask for his number/whatsapp (not his snap!! 🙄).
I would really really like some advice on this - things that would be better to say, anything I should expect and/or if this is even a good idea at all and if I should just not do it. Advice is highly appreciated, please help!!
