Sounds like you have everything set up for yourself, to keep yourself safe. That is awesome!

I say, have that pool party. You could ask both of your close friends to each invite 1 extra friend and so you'd have 4 guests total. Like I said, start really small. Don't just assume that no one would come if you invited them. Assumptions are based on our own insecurities and fears and are 99% of the times, never accurate.

So, maybe start with a pool party -- how fun! -- and invite your 2 close pals, and ask them to each invite another friend along who would like to go. Then you can entertain 4 guests with food and fun in the pool. And eventually, maybe even by the end of summertime, you'll grow your social network a little larger.

Getting to know people takes time.
