As a fellow introvert, I recommend forcing yourself outside of your comfort zone. I highly recommend learning to partner dance (swing dance, country western, or salsa). Dancing is great practice for social interaction + girls!
Yes, it's exhausting to socialize, but you'll grow your social skills, and you can use those skills when you really need them in the future.
Some skills come naturally to people, other people have to practice to get good at them. Social skills are no exception.
