What do you do on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, when all of your online friends are too busy, your DnD Campaign was finished, and you have nobody to talk to? (hexbear.net)

I am in a situation where, all my friends are often too busy, so I often spend weeks, here in college, without talking to another soul. To make things worse, I am very shy, and I can stutter a lot in voice calls. And thus, I am often too scared to try and message my online friends (I have only about 5, and they are the first friends I ever made in life, and I only befriended them last year), to ask them if they can hang out. I did once, but I need time to work up the courage again to ask for a hang out.

So anyways, what is it that you do, to occupy your time, when you spend most of your days with nobody to talk to? And you yourself are often busy with things in life?

Go on romantic dates, if you can arrange them - college is a good time for this since lots of people are just as uncertain as you are. Dating is a bit of a numbers game to find someone by chance that you really vibe with.

Play a good video game

Go to a bouldering gym (don't break your ankle) or BJJ class, they're usually pretty bumping on those nights

Go on romantic dates, if you can

I have never been on a date. Plus I am Asexual, something I know for sure, would be a turn off for most people anyways. Not to mention I don't even know how to ask someone to be my friend, much less how to tell if I am even capable of romantic attraction.
