As i said in the introduction, i have to make small steps to follow Him. But i'm lost and i don't know which way to go. What could be the first step to "meet" God. Reading the Bible? Praying? Going to church? These are daily routines for me. I get bored very quickly, so it's a little bit complicated. Like i said, i was forced to do these stuff since i was a kid, and now i find them kinda boring because i already know them. What should i do?

Declaring Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the best first step you can take on the path to meeting God. Once you've done that, you will need to begin getting close to Him. You can do this through spiritual disciplines.
Now these words, spiritual disciplines, sound like chores. But they're not. If you really desire God and want to have a relationship with Him, then you will do these things, not because you feel you must (though maybe at first), but because you want to. I do not read the Bible because I am forced to by anyone or anything. I read the Bible because I want to. I want to know what is in God's Word and I enjoy reading the Bible.
There are a great multitude of churches out there. You cannot possibly know them all. You need to pray and ask God to lead you to the church that is best suited to your needs. And remember that you need to give back to the church through time, effort, and monetarily if you can. There are other ways to serve other than tithing, though. You can volunteer for things. Help do things around the church. Pray for people.
Too often, people feel disconnected from a church. This could be because of the church. However, it could also be because of them. Do you take the time to learn about people who go to that church? Do you talk with them? Spend time outside of church with them? How active are you in your participation and your fellowship? It's not just about taking from the church. It's about giving back.
As for the Bible--there's no way you know everything there is to know about the Bible. There are men and women who have devoted their lives to Bible study and don't know everything in the Bible. That is because the Bible is alive, dynamic and changing.
As I said, however, at the very beginning, the first step is to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. Submit to Him and give all your cares and worries over to Him--as well as control over your life. You can lead your own life, or Jesus can lead your life.
