How to derive pleasure from meeting girls? and where to meet them.

I realise, as i have urges to watch porn, I turn to it because it is considerably easier to find satisfaction from it rather than meeting actual girls. How do i shift this thinking pattern from these urges to meeting girls.

​

There's a social event tomorrow that I could go to, but Id rather stay in and work on my degree as that gives me great satisfaction when its going well. My anxiety has gone down considerably after learning to take care of my affairs, so I would not like to compromise my sleeping pattern (thus my degree), for the opportunity to maybe have good times with a girl.

​

Any insights would be extremely valued. Ty.
