no there's no reason to communicate with other people when you are apparently so unlovable and valueless nobody has a reason to talk to you.

I have a big social circle and was in a similar position to you. Some tips:

- Go to shit that fits your personality. Clubs are shit for socializing. Hit up charity events, volunteer events, that sort of thing. Plug into the gala circuit (virtually every city has one) and show up proper (at least in a good suit - you probably can get away with not wearing a tux nowadays, though it does help to have one).

- BE CONSISTENT. This is 99.9% of the way to make friends. Don't just show up once - show up consistently and be someone people recognize. "Drive-by" folks are ignored by regulars because expending the energy to get to know them is never worth it.

- Throw your own events. Seriously, this works - meet people, then invite them to shit. Doesn't have to be too fancy - could be a happy hour, could be some dumb shit like going bowling. This has been one of my tricks for years - I've made the social system hub-and-spoke and established myself as the hub.

- I've also been in the dance community for a while. It's good, as others have said, but tends to be a lightning rod for weird fucks (ESPECIALLY swing). It's a good skill to develop, just get into the scene cautiously, and avoid the swing kids and fat girls that do Bachata.

- Don't hit on the girls too quickly. They all know each other (at least in certain circles), and they TALK. Shoot your shot and you'll burn your way through half a city pretty goddamn quickly.
