I completely identify. I am 19 and grew up pretty isolated. Making friends isn't something that comes naturally to me, and I still don't entirely know how other people do it so easily. It's gotten easier since being in college.
It doesn't really sound like there's a real problem. Your friends call you, and a girl wants to go out with you. You've got a good start with people showing interest in you like this and all you need to do is reciprocate. It sounds more like you're struggling with self-esteem than with social skills, so I can't help you there. I haven't made much progress in that area. Just try to convince yourself that maybe, just maybe...there is a reason people are interested in you.
