Robo dude, I would suggest that if you are going to play with strangers, do so in a public place like a game and hobby shop.

I would say, however, that it is much more fun if you play with your friends. When I was about 11, most of my friends didn't play either, so me and one other guy rounded 'em all up and said, "you're playing."

It worked. Half my high school graduating class had played rpgs with each other by the time we were done with school. Some people kept playing them through high school (half may sound unrealistic, but I went to a small school).

Try your friends out first. They might be more receptive than you think. Everybody likes playing games (most everybody, my wife can't stand games of any sort).
