I'm not sure if you specfically want to meet new friends, or have more friends.
Cause talking to your old friends through facebook would be a good way to reconnect.
As for meeting new friends, it's a bit trickier.
But the key to meeting new people is to determine which of your current friends you have are the extroverted ones that organize hangouts/parties, etc.
Those are the friends you need, because they are the ones that will "host" events and bring their own group of friends. Meaning more people at the gathering for you to meet.
And it won't be as awkward as just meeting some random person on the street or some public event. Friends of friends makes mingling much easier.
Sometimes meeting people at work or school is tough, because certain people are just there for the "business". Which is fine.
I never made and kept the friends from school or work outside of the environment.
As for having 1 friend from different circles, if your two friends share common interests, you could always just plan a group event with 3 or you.
Or on your birthday, just plan a dinner and invite them all...

To answer your post above in bold quoted from my original post:
My close friends are also not really outgoing therefore they don't go to house parties or host one making it hard for me also to meet new people. Everyone time I chill with them, its always 1 on 1 (no homo).
I have tried to be "better" friends with my outgoing but not "close" friends but due to us not being very close or know each other well, they also never invited me to their parties or gatherings...
