Courting a Friendship 101?

[Elaine]

I am 23 years old and have been in my college town for 4+ years now & although I have some acquaintances, I don't have any friends. This is due to the fact that I am actually very charismatic but my emotional intelligence & ability to read social cues is very off.. I am also very self conscious.

For a while I decided to take a step back & decide what kind of person I wanted to be & what kind of ppl I wanted to attract.. Now that I know, am ready to get back out there & start making real friends but I realized that I missed out on some key know how's to courting a friendship:

How to make that jump from clicking with someone & actually getting their number, becoming friends & hanging out?

How to approach making friends when I don't have any other friends (for us to meet up with, invite me to parties, etc) ?

How do I "hang out" with someone at my or their house?

Etiquette for going out on the town with new friends?

Tips for calling/texting/social media?
