Need Advice - Have lot going for me but im socially inept

I don't lack confidence, in fact i find it easy to approach people, and from my demeanour and the way i talk, youd assume the same too. Yet my biggest problem is that i have a lot of trouble getting to know people properly. Im at university right now, and i meet people at lectures and say hi to people i know but these people i simply know rather than have a relationship with.

As a result it gets extremely lonely, i just don't know anyone who would call me up to say hi or go do something, so a lot of the time im locked up in my room. I have however made one PROPER friend and im very close to him. His GF even regularly tells me how my looks are always being complimented by her friends and her flatmates so at least theres nothing wrong there.

The sheer boredom and sterility of my life has made me lose almost all motivation to do anything. Advice would be greatly appreciated!

Well, one surefire way to meet people is by getting involved in activities at your school. Join a few clubs that interest you and you'll find your social circle increasing before you know it.

Sometimes the harder you try to get to know someone the more awkward it gets. Yeah, you might have conversational skills and not look like a dropped pie but there's more to it than that. Seems to me like you just need to relax and let things take their course, you might find that more people will gravitate towards you that way.

You'll get used to it...trust me..besides..people usually want to be your friends because they want something in return or they benefit from it in some way..
