Guy's Behavior

I’m a really shy person How can I be more open when dating and meeting new people?

I’m a very shy quiet person. I have been like this my entire life I like staying home watching movies reading books I don’t like going to clubs or being in big crowds. I have never had friends in my entire adulthood and when I’m dating or getting to know someone because I’m so quiet, the conversation is dry and eventually me and that person stop talking.
I have had a guy tell me in the past that I’m boring and he only sees me if he has absolutely nothing else to do.

I spent time with a guy yesterday and we didn’t really say much to each other I told him I don’t have any friends during our conversation He said he could tell because I’m a quiet person and I seem content with being in my own space I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing after he left he texted me to let me know he was home, but after that, I have not heard from him.

I really want to be more open have friends and a good dating life, but I don’t know where to start I’m 25 and I have only been in 1 relationship
