Is this weird to ask?

hi

personally, i wouldn't think its weird at all. everyone's different and there are definitely many ways of forming friendships.
you are doing really well! its hard to make the first conversation but as long as you feel comfortable and you try to put across your sincerity, you will for sure meet people that you can connect with.

if someone asked me whether we could be friends, I would say yes. its a direct and nice way that shows someone that they want to get to know you.

i hope that helped but meeting new people can be a scary thing to do so just take a deep breath and try your best

Thank you, your reply reassured me. Ig the worst case scenario is if they decline and say they’re not comfortable and I move on

saying do you wanna do something together one weekend is basically the same as asking if they wanna be friends. But it's a specific question, which people are more comfortable with and understand, asking if someone wants to be your friend is super sweet but since you gotta hang out with someone to decide if you will be good friends then it makes sense not to put them on the spot!

I kind of wanted to befriend a guy ik, I feel if I ask him do I wanna do something with him he may feel as if I’m asking him out on a date
