Making new friends...

So, I don’t have many friends. I have like...maybe two friends. I’m kind of a homebody, so its difficult for me to make new friends since I always prefer to be at home. However, I have recently been kind of lonely because I have come to the realization that I don’t have friends. Anytime me and my husband have a party or something its allll his friends, so I’m trying to make a conscious effort to make more.

My husband and I had a party recently with all of his friends and their wives. All the wives kind of hung out (none of us knew each other) while the guys (who hang out often) were in a seperate group. One of the wives I really liked and thought I could really see us becoming friends. The problem is, I think we’re both kind of awkward? I want to invite her to lunch or something so maybe we can become friends, but I’m afraid it would be awkward being just the two of us without a big group. Have any of you hung out with someone one-on-one that you didn’t know very well, and it turned out not awkward? Helpppp
