It feels impossible.
First, you have to stop thinking like that.
Then you have to be realistic and realize that nothing happens overnight and that particular part of life comes at different times for different people, so giving up in despair is counter-productive.
Worrying about it will only keep you miserable. Be the best person you know how to be - if you feel you need improvement, then seek it - I had to hunt down books, you've got the whole Internet at your fingertips.
Put yourself where other people are. It's going to be painful and uncomfortable, if your social skills are already weak, and you make yourself go places where other people your age hang out, it's going to feel extremely awkward for a while, and I mean for the first few
months, not the first ten minutes, but you HAVE to give people a chance to get to know you. When you're not good at just walking up to people and starting conversations, that's going to take a while. But it won't EVER happen if you're not there in the first place.
As you get to know people, concentrate on cultivating FRIENDSHIPS, not desperately seeking romance. Desperation scares people away. Remember, you cannot MAKE someone fall in love with you.
And be prepared to get your heart broken, repeatedly. There's no avoiding it. You're already going onto the field with your heart on your sleeve, which is to say, you're not wearing an emotional cup, so every disappointment is going to feel like a kick in the sack. As the saying goes, "
you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" and you're going to get your eggs broken, a lot - but if you want to win the treasure, you've got to suffer for it.
Good luck.
