    so i am in the same boat as you. but here is my plan. any good comic book store/board game place has meet ups. my plan is that if you have a combined goal, such as a board game, you can ignore any tension and awkwardness, and focus on fun!

    now one, i have had this plan for a wile and still have issues acting on it. two, my family a has informed me that women to not go to board game parlors. though they tell me i have to go to church to find love… and that’s a hefty no. but once i get through some stuff i might be acceptable dateing material

      We have a TTRPG store, so that’d be a possibility, but my comic store doesn’t have meetups afaik and everyone I’ve seen there my age is Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

      Huh, are you my brother or something? Family says same, I say she’ll figure out I’m not religious pretty fast lmao.

        may need to hit multiple stores. if your favorite hang out isn’t promoting their game nights in meet up and such, they are losing out on a valuable marketing possibility. i can only hope that more women see it as a possibility, now that d&d streaming is getting more popular.

        also biking is a terrible place to try, everyone’s too busy breathing to talk

        buti look in the meetup app for things… too bad it’s a “professional ladder climbing” and “timeshare/market share/pyrmid scheme” app nowadays…

          We only have the one comic store, mycomicshop made sure of that.

          Idk if the TTRPG store advertises, but I haven’t seen it if so. Maybe I’ll just give them a call.

          Ahh well sounds like meetup is out for me lol, anything that begins with “install app” is pretty much a no from me dawg, I got grapheneOS and don’t want to install the crap I intentionally kicked off my phone lol.

            well the meetup app is mainly a portal to the web page. so i would give that a try instead. my warning about the professionals meetups are not to push the idea that you would be catfished or anything, just don’t be surprised that a lot of area meet ups may be for that, but are usually blatant in their posting

            we got to be careful. i constantly fall into the trap of hopelessness and kill ideas before their hatched. trying to be better, i think i would make a great partner! i just have to give myself a chance
