Have you ever looked up advice online about how to attract someone, whether it’s new friends or that cute girl in your class?

I completely understand if you have. I’ve been in your shoes before!

You see, growing up, I didn’t really have any reliable source of information. My parents only wanted me to focus on my schoolwork and weren’t really interested in conversations about life like I was, my sister treated my like a nuisance, 95% of my peers paid no attention to and/or looked down on me, and the other 5% I got to interact with were just about in the same boat as I was.

So just about the only I could do (and did) was turn to the search engines and myself.

I remember the countless times I would head over to Google and search up “how to get a girl to like you” or “how to get more friends at school.” And because I was such a curious boy when it came to life and the world around me, I asked countless other questions too.
