For the past few years, I've been wanting to make new friends in my area from outside of school – especially guy friends. Today, on my way back from a run, I ended up seeing a group of guys that looked about my age playing football and found myself wanting to strike a conversation. I roamed around the area for almost 20 minutes, trying to build up the courage to talk to them and ended up calling a friend for support (which I am lowkey embarrassed about needing to do). I approached them as they were leaving to ask if they play often and if they needed another player, to which they responded pretty plainly. Still ended up with the snap of one of the guys. They said that they'd text me the next time they play, and we parted. They turned out to be a few years younger than me, so I dont really know how well we'll gel with each other, but I am nonetheless proud of myself for taking some initiative. (I'm also ass at football, so we'll see how it goes) #relationships source
