This actually works, but only if you are willing to sponsor a green card.

It's really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.

Man I feel personally attacked

I mean, we are not 100% unfindable, we comment here on Lemmy! Normalize finding love through Lemmy (/jk).

They better fuckin not!

the great touring jam bands provided a wonderful environment to meet new people in back in the 90's. the parking lots of grateful dead and phish concerts were chock full of society's misfits, many of them well-read and witty (some of them not-so-much). It was not introverted at all - there were so many outgoing, lively, and fun people.

i think many of you are more outgoing than you give yourself credit for. you just live in a world where you don't want to mingle with the inhabitants, and i think that might even reflect a skewed view of the outside world. i'm pretty far left and i still have fun in bars in little ranch towns in the western states. most of those people are more fun than your average morose, urban-dwelling shoe gazer.

teleports behind you Nothing personal, kid.... But would you like to be the love of my life?

My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it's not far fetched.

I'm fucking waiting!!

(Yet still need a notice, written notice, days ahead)

Sounds like an invasion of my privacy! I could be doing art at that moment, or some kind of lore deep dive. How rude to just teleport in like that!

Wait what else am I supposed to do, overcome trauma and go outside (>ᆺ<)

Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend

Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.

Wonderfully cheesy 1970s movie "Logan's Run" had a deal like that. Instead of just swiping on an image, people teleported to your house. If you liked each other you'd step off the platform...

[The movie has a brief appearance by Farrah Fawcett, which gives it high 1970s nostalgia appeal]

Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn't 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?

A buddy of mine got his first girlfriend in college after a family friend noticed that his single niece also liked manga and anime and introduced the two. I was very jealous of his attractive, nerdy girlfriend-turned-wife for several years until I finally got on a dating site and found love for myself.

That post's gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.

yes, because putting yourself out there just gets you yanked around by assholes -- ask me how I know.

Either Mr. Right will fall out of the great blue sky directly into my lap, or I'll die alone. But I frankly no longer have the will to really put effort towards that, anymore; and I can't fathom criticizing anyone else for deciding the same. Hell truly is other people.

I thought my problem was not going outside, but I recently saw a post about how most people meet online now.

So it turns out I just suck. That’s helpful to know

how else would i meet commander will riker, if not a transporter accident?

I saw The Secret in high school and I've just been following its advice of wishing really hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

No, they can teleport to the driveway like a normal person, thankyouverymuch.
