Original Reddit post

I graduated high school in Texas and moved to North Carolina right after for family reasons. I’ve been a dental assistant since I was 18 (now 21) and work 8–5, sometimes till 6. I’ve had a hard time making guy friends IRL. Most of my coworkers are women, and online hasn’t worked out much either. I go to the YMCA and have started conversations in the sauna/steam room a few times — even got a couple numbers — but it never turns into hanging out. Growing up mostly around girls, talking to other guys still feels a little awkward sometimes. I’m into fitness and gaming and open to other stuff. Any advice on how to actually turn these interactions into real friendships, or other things I should try? submitted by /u/Jio_XP-05
