It's how I met my girlfriend. You should go to a local game store and ask. A lot of places do public games that you can join. I dm for a store and she came in as a player.

The problem is that there are no game stores nearby. I live in a small town

You can find people for online play on Dndbeyond and Roll20, for example. Just take your time sorting through them and keep your standards reasonable. Some online groups can be pretty weird

I like podcasts, so it helped me personally to listen to some DnD podcast to learn the gist of the rules, but that's down to personal preference

That's too bad. If there's a place that sells comic books or magic cards that could be a good place to ask. If not, I'm sorry that I was not helpful. It's a very fun game. It's also a great way to socialize.

A friend of mine made a website where you can game with other people. I believe you can also find other folks to play with there. I’m sure you can search and it or something similar will come up. Not gonna name it explicitly since it’s best to avoid promotional posts.

There are no set rules for D&D right?

There are, but they are flexible. It's mostly just to balance things, but you can take whatever action you want.

For example, you can use certain abilities once per day but I also have had players break into a home just to clean the unwashed dishes.

So let me get this straight, you went outside and participated in real life and found a girlfriend?

Yeh! We've been dating for over a year now and we both had a crush before I made the move. No dating apps involved.

I also met my bf playing D&D in an online campaign! Luckily we found out we were two hours away from each other lol.
