I just can't figure this out at all. I'm socially proficient, talking to people isn't a problem for me, however establishing a loose network of people that help introduce me to more people is something I never figured out.

-I am at drinking age, live at home, go to a small commuter school, eand cannot make parties at home. I don't even have the money to do so. -I don't get invited to parties. -I don't know anyone who knows anyone who would invite me anywhere. -I don't have a cool list of outgoing girls/guys and don't know what I could do to establish one.

When I talk to a cool person, I get their number and we do the whole dance of, "yeah bro for sure we'll hang out" but it never goes anywhere after that.
