I (26M) have decided to go to a live music performance on Friday that will feature local, upcoming artists. I am going alone because I really want to put myself out there and just enjoy the performances, but I am also seeing this as an opportunity to meet new people. However, I am not sure what the right move is if given the opportunity. I do not have a lot of friends at the moment, and I am kinda a socially awkward person, so this is kinda big for me.
My intentions are still mostly just to enjoy the performance, but I want to see if I can make one friend while I am out at the event.
As a side note, I am gay too, so I feel like I might even have a harder time. Any advice/tips is appreciated!
