How and where do I make good friends

It's really hard for me to find and keep friends.
I'm extremely shy.
I know most of you will say,, oh just join a class an u will make friends.
I am talking about friends I can hang out with.. Not only see once a week.
I made my own meetup group on meetups it's about SA people an some joined.. 3 of them even added me on Facebook, which I was surprised and excited about and we talked a few times on Facebook chat an go to know each other a bit. They have agoraphobia, which I don't, so it's hard for them to meet up. Now it seems I am always the one starting the convo on FB and it seems like they don't wanna talk.. 2 them said it themselves that they have no friends.. So why aren't thy trying to make friends with me since I'm in same position? I mean I said we could meet up some where comfortable. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should make a different group about people who have no friends and are shy? I donno ! I feel so bored. I live with my bf and he is not shy like me he has his own friends..

You say they have agoraphobia, so even though an opportunity for a friend is presented to them, they still may not take it out of fear. It's nothing against you.

Maybe you can meet people through his friends?

My bf has a lot of friends too but not me It makes me feel bad but i'm not even trying to make friends I just want good friends. I feel like I should just have them by now but don't. The only way to make friends is to ask to hangout with someone and act interested in the person. My bf suggested being less nice to people so not sure how that works unfortunately. Also you could try finding a pen pal around where you live and maybe meet from online. I just have a similar issue as you can see soo yeahhs.

I think you can make friends anywhere... but it's 'easiest' to make friends when you're in school or at work with them.
I knew lots of people when I was in school who would invite me out all the time; but I never bothered because I had work/home/more work priorities.

I have 2 friends. The only 'in person' friend, I haven't seen in a few years because she lives 3 hours away.
I've been in the town where she lives several times in the last couple of years-- for family funerals; but she's always busy and I feel like I'm not worth the time for her to try and change her schedule.
I don't know anyone in person who lives anywhere near me. Just my mom and brother.
And I doubt I could leave home and hang out with people even if I did know anyone.
