so im a shy kid and in college. im a freshman and started 2 weeks ago which is the same time i met my roommate despite knowing that we were each others for the past 5 months. so we move in and my roommates pretty cool and like me. the problem is that he doesnt go out much. i have a hard time making friends since im from a small town and never had to meet a mass group of people at 1 time. i do make friends, but usually i forget there names and dont see them too often. but i see people walking around and doing stuff with their roommates and making friends. i offer him to come with me to do stuff, but he usually says no unless mandatory. and even then he rarely talks to me and find it hard to have good conversation starters besides the basic "break the ice" questions. and being the shy person that i am, i rarely sit with other people that i dont know really know. um not saying that we have to be together all the time, but how do i get him to do at least a few things with me instead of being on the computer and talking to people online? usually he just gets out to eat, go to the bathroom or going to class. i dont want to force him to do stuff, but i dont want to just awkwardly be with him and sit by myself occasionally.
any helpful advise would be awesome!
