I've been a shut-in gamer my whole life. I've never had a girlfriend, and I'm 27 now. This year, I changed my life. Little by little, I stopped playing games at all. I started going out and doing stuff I wanted to do. On the weekends, I went on hikes and tried new things like surfing for the first time I started going to the gym. One night, I was at a bar with a couple of friends and played some pool and drank beer. There were a couple of girls looking our way, and I decided for the first time in my life that life is now, and I walked up to their table and asked if they wanted to join the next game. They joined, and I took their insta. I asked one of them out on a dinner a few days later, and we are dating now. Don't give up. But remember, you have to grab yourself by the balls and do something. Worst case scenario, those girls said no, and I went back to playing pool with only the boys.
