Any advises on what I should do once my family business closes?
How should I progress in meeting new people? (step by step)

Meetup.com is a great one. I met one of my good friends through there. Here's how it happened.
1. Find a group that interests you
2. Show up, introduce yourself. Be talkative. If someone asks a question, answer. If you have a question, ask.
3. Show up regularly, get comfortable with people, so you become a common face
4. Ask if someone wants to get a cup of coffee or grab a bite after
5. Trade life stories, find common ground. (Music, sports, hobbies, whatever)
6. Continue showing up to the meet up
7. Facebook
8. See if they want to grab a bite or coffee another time
etc. etc.
It doesn't have to be rocket science. But it does take time to build trust with someone. (Weeks, months, even years.) Also, you might find that you don't "click" with some people like you do others. That's completely normal too. It depends on you, it depends on the other person. Meetup's great because the people there are also looking to meet people.
Feel free to PM me. Hell, we can even go grab a cup of coffee.
