<human>: Some background: I am captain of the school chess team, and I play soccer (I play chess competitively but I'm not great at soccer). I'd give myself an honest 6.5/10 in terms of looks. My closest friends are the really antisocial gamer-type, so the fact that I hang out with them so much means that I never get to go to any high school parties, or go to prom for that matter. As I've gotten older, I've tried to separate myself from the antisocial/nerdy group, but it seems like I've made little to no progress - mostly because I'm really not good at talking to people. There's this one kid at my school who is without a doubt 3/10 (bad acne, overweight, greasy hair) but hangs out with girls all the time, and he's not gay. I'm really not sure what makes him so much more appealing over me; maybe it's because he smokes/deals pot, but even then I'm not sure why he gets so much attention.

I'm perfectly comfortable talking to friends and family, but when it comes to girls, I overthink everything, and awkward silence often ensues. Any way for me out of this situation I'm in right now? Junior prom is this year and I just can't see myself asking anyone to prom - everyone is usually taken or they're just way out of my league. I sometimes imagine not ever having a girlfriend, but I try not to think about that happening.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: My friends and I are in the introverted gamers/nerd group in high school, but I'm trying to not be labeled as such any more. How do I get noticed by girls?
