Does anyone else shy away from making friends?

Just that really!
I am an introvert, but I do love getting to know people. However I find it so hard to get past the 'chatting' stage, and to making a friend to socialise with, meet for coffee or a wine etc.
I feel like something is almost wrong with me and that people will find me boring. I'm not sure why this is.
As a consequence, the few friends I have are people I have known since childhood. I really value their friendships and love to meet up, even if only every few months. But why do I feel inadequate of making new friends now?? How do I do this?

Sorry no help but that's exactly what I struggle with. I can't get past the 'chatting' stage either. Following for some tips...

I'm the same. I think I either click easily with someone or I don't and I rarely do.
