How do I help my husband make friends?

Anonymous
My husband of 4 years, is the best man I've ever met. I've gone out with a couple of guys in the past but they weren't as amazing as my husband. He's the sweetest guy in the world. He makes me feel so great. I love him so much. So the problem is, he has no friends. Like yeah he has "friends" that all they do is play basketball together but nothing so intimate like spend time together and do guy stuff like play video games and stuff. Whenever I would tell him I'm going out with a friend, I can feel him getting kinda sad over the phone or he would put a lot of "..." in his text messages. I can say I have a lot of friends because I'm social, he's social too but he tries too hard to make people like him. I want him to have guy friends. I just want him to have a buddy to go to whenever he's in need of some guy time or something.
Another problem is, I feel like he steals my friends. Like on Facebook, if one of my friends post on my wall and we end up talking on there, he would sometimes join in and after a while of him talking to my friend, he would add them and try to be their friend. I don't have a problem but at the same time I do...
I just don't know what to do. Advice?
Update 1: He had a bad past. His parents protected him so much to the point that he couldnt/ can't even go outside. There are a lot of people our age (16) in his neighborhood but he can't even go outside to make friends. He never had friends. I just want to help him and see him happy:-)
