Just turned 21, a co worker has been inviting me to drink with him lately. By everytime I go "get lit" with him, I end up being third wheeled, ditched, or I'm the ass of the joke the whole night. I've gone out with him twice, and will never go again. My question is, how does a socially awkward dude like me make more friends outside of work?
Op here. I thought about going to some bars alone, but quickly realized that would just make me look creepy. Beyond joining some sort of book club, or going up to random strangers asking if they want to be friends, I'm genuinely stumped..
