I'm in the same boat, i only have 1 friend playing sc2 somewhat seriously, and he is also protoss so the only 1v1 we can do with races that we are comfortable with are PvP.
Discussing build orders and different things around sc2 i usually doing on IRC, its a lot of chatting in #swe.sc2 so if you are a swedish player and feel lonely feel free to join the channel
You can also join #teamliquid.

this is why nasl and mlg will never get big as they hope. its such aniche. i have experience in trying to promote stuff like mma. most people spend most of their time trying to get laid to have actual hobbies/life.

even the guys i used to play with dont anymore. so a lot of the times i'm stuck on friggin ladder playing with these guys who 1 rax into bcs.

the truth is if people aren't good at something right away they will quit. people are quite mentally weak.

When i first started playing a few of my rl friends played quite a bit but they gradually moved back to first person games and WoW, leaving little old me playing by myself. Shame really as i actually prefer team games.

Winner stays, loser gives up his spot. Go for as long as you want, or impose rules (can only be king for 3 games or something).
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

A few of my friends got the copy of the game but then they all started to quit cause they thought Terran was OP. Now it seems as if I'm the only one still playing.

The only real way to find friends with the same interest in SC2 in through the online community, then meet up in real life. SC2 is still a niche hobby no matter how you look at it, just like how you can find people with different interest in different sports depending on where you live.

I have the same problem as well. People dont want to play 1v1 it seems.

I think many people have too big an ego to accept the fact that you will loose 50% of your games when playing ladder.

But i also miss people the cheer with when playing, it is hard to loose a lot of games and have no one to complain to.

Make some new friends on TL.net and play SC2 with them :D

Also get your gf into SC2 by showing her a VOD of Tastosis casting a pro SC2 match, and she will lol her way into loving the game. Worked for me, we now have a 2v2 team

Starcraft 2 with me and my friends is hit and miss, either you like or you don't. I've found that people that don't play it like to watch it though (GSL, Streams, ect.). I would say join a team and see if there are any nearby LANs and meet people there. I met a ton of people at the last LAN I went to and found out that a few even went to my college. GL! ^_^
Live it up.

Somewhat yes, but when went on he facebook sc2 friend finder i found like 30 people i know that have sc2. Most of them dont play anymore, but i do have lots of rl friends that play sc2, mabye im just lucky. I do hang with online friends when i play though, we just talk in a team speak channell and play games, watch streams, gsl and what not. Watching sc2 is way is way better when you can talk about the games

Going out to a place where students go, the special shot of the night was "baneling bust".
After watching a set of very exciting gsl matches, i packed my bags and went to the gym. On my way I heard TWO groups of people talking about the very matches I just saw. Granted I live in a university-city with probably a lot of geeks, but starcraft people go outside :p
