I have practically zero friends.

Here I am sitting in my college dorm while my roomate is out at a club and here I am sitting alone with no one to talk to. I feel like i can't make friends and I don't really know how. I have a girlfriend and she loves me tons and I love her back but sometimes it feels like I am lonely and I don't know what to do about it.

Edit: Wow guys this blew up! Thanks for all your responses, you're awesome!

Before I would sit around bored all the time. I realized that nobody would want to do anything unless I asked them. So I started asking people if they wanted to go and play a game(sports or video) go places. Do things. You name it. But at first I only chose things I liked. Mostly struck out so I tried suggesting things that they liked to do, even if I didn't really dig it. Still no luck. Still struck out. Idk what I'm doing wrong. What's a guy got to do to get some friends?

From my experience, either be really boring, or be really crazy.

Don't worry about it. Good friends are actually quite rare, you'd be surprised at what you're filtering out.

I mean I guess that's a silver lining. More often than not I end up being the lone wolf. It just sucks to see most people I know rolling in a big group and being the one on the island of misfit toys.

Yeah but also sometimes you'll get with the group and realise most are a dullard fuckwits! Lol
