Basketball

[Felix]

Last week I was in an event, and this guy I always see and talk to during this kind of events (when I go to sell my comics as well as he does) came to me asking if I played basketball. "No" I said, then he asked if I'd like to join him and some other guys to play on monday. I liked the idea so I said yes, he introduced me to the man who was organizing the basket thing, turned out he is an editor, we talked a bit and we put me in a mailng group.

Then he sent me an email with the adress of the place we were gonna play, I went (I had nothing better to do anyway). The guys are older than me, except the one who asked me, most of them are in their 30s. It went ok, they tought me some basic rules, like the ball goes inside the ring lol.

We played for two hours, I'm not gonna lie I barely made it... it's very exhausting... But I didn't suck that bad so hopefully I'll go play again with them in the future. It was fun, it felt good to do something "manly" just with other guys, since almost all my friends are girls, they are nice and all but I get tired of it...

I tried to talk, not too much, there wasn't much conversation anyway. My strategy is to try to be nice, put effort into the game, pay attention... I realize in the past since I'm introverted I would be very closed and in this kind of situations I'd go sit alone paying zero attention to whats going on... I'm trying not to be like that anymore.

That's good Felix! Continue being open with them. XD

If you like the sport, continue practicing with them! You'll be good friends after the first couple of games.

I too am going to start to play Basketball, so we're both beginners! lol

good for you. keep going for it as long as you want to.

and basketball is fun.

that's literally all i have to say.

EDIT: oh, and i've played it quite a bit. if you ever want tips or have questions about the game you'd be kinda embarrassed to ask them, you can ask me if you wanna. either on this thread or PM me (same for AK)
