How do I connect with people?
I have a lot of acquaintances, but I don't know how to get them to want to hang out with me.
I'm sort of in the same situation, OP. Thing is my acquaintances are all online ones that either live in another country or far away from me.
The one acquaintance I met in school can rarely visit the city I live in. He's coming to town soon for a weekend and invited me to join him and go to a rock concert/event. I'm not a fan of concerts like those and would rather spend time somewhere quiet. Given I have been feeling ultra lonely lately, I'm considering going just to spend time with someone else.
I find it unlikely we will have much fun, as I am nowhere as enthusiastic about the artists that will be there as he is.
