[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, the moms on the sports teams that you chat with/carpool with - I'd start there. Depending on whether you think they'd be more into morning coffee meetup or evening drink meetup, choose one or the other and then send a casual invite to all of the moms on that team. Sometimes it's nice if it is at the beginning or ending of a season, gives you a little excuse - "Let's celebrate the end of a great season! WOuld love to get together for coffee on xx date at xx place (or come over for coffee/wine this night)" - and just see what happens. If you feel close to one mom, you could tell her your plan and then kind of coordinate dates so that you know she can probably make it...then that can help get the ball rolling. 
It may not pan out, but it definitely is worth a try...this is what extroverts do, just throw it out there and see if you get something goingl..but don't be hurt if no one wants to, it's either they are busy or are feeling introverted/nervous themselves. It is worth a shot  -somtimes it doesn't work out or it's just one and done, but other times the relationships have grown from there into close friendships. [/quote]

This is OP, thank you for taking your time typing a thoughtful answer.  Yes, throwing parties, I saw my extrovert friends do that so many times and I never understand how that was so fun for them LOL.  Parties make me exhausted.  But I am willing to give it try.  I am also worried about not knowing how to entertain.  What if they judge me on the food I prepared, or my home decor? How do i keep everyone entertained and fed?  I am worried if I screw up no one would come to my house again...does this sound silly?  yeah I think so too, but I am anxious like that when it comes to socializing.  [/quote]
