Need to expand my social life, Need an opinion (quite long but interesting)?

For the past 3 yrs my social life has been kinda bad even though Its improving I don't have a lot of people to go out with I always ended up staying home.. but I don't get depressed about it, instead I got used to it and eventually liked it... but after a certain point I do want to get out and meet people..

This idea of finding new friend popped into my head when one of my so called good "friends" and I had an argument where he showed me his true colours by being untrustworthy.. therefore I distance myself from him... and decided to look for new friends

Here are 3 scenarios that recently occured in my life and all I am asking from you guys is an opinion..

#1 : For the past few days I've been missing High School.. even though I was a loner in H-S, my social skills were terrible...I was shy, timid, reserve I miss it a bit, However when I went to college, my social life had improved I met good friends, and I was more open.. actually the person I am today is the same I was in college..and the reason why I kept thinking about highschool is because I am having regrets on how I badly I didn't form strong bonds with anyone, and part of me wants to go back to H-S and build friendship with ppl I always wanted to be friends with... so.. 2 days ago I was walking down the street and I saw this old Highschool "friend" of mine...that I haven't seen him in 5 years... he was a good guy, but whenever he was with his friends he kinda ignored me, not intentionally, it was because I was shy, and he was the type of person that would hang out with popular crowd even though he was in the outs...anyway we were talking about life, school (and I have to point out.. that by the expression on his face he looked tired and wasn't quite happy with his life, school , and I seemed to be more happy than him ) our conversation lasted few mins and the funny thing is neither of us thought about exchanging our phone numbers...I kinda forgot... so heres the part where I need your opinion, should I start being friends with him? (that is If I see him again) but then again do people change? I don't want to be ignored once again just like in highschool where I had to sat next to him and some other friends in the cafeteria and none of them even tried to bond with me.. ahhh bad memories...

Scenario #2
I am currently in University, and I am having a good time, I know alot of people in my class but I don't call them friends, because I know that sooner or later I won't be friends with them because any of us are in the same program.. its a course where students from different programs are enrollled in..
and just like we say "friends come and goes" so what should I do ? I definitively want to keep in touch with them because they're good people, but at the same time I know it will be hard..

Scenario 3
like I said I was doing some improvement, I joined myself a soccer league.. I was happy at first when I started playing..but then for some reason I don't have strong bonds with any teammate except probably 2 of them and neither any of them the whole team doesn't have chemistry..basically our team isn't unified.. and its hard because games are once a week.. and everyone is busy we can't barely get to know each other... good thing the league is coming to an end.. and I'll join in for a new a season I was thinking with friends that Im acquainted with this time.. what do you think?

So here are my stories please feel free to share anything

Also what do you think about the surprising encounter that I had with that old highschool friend of mine, I am still in shock...just as I was thinking about H-S , Surprise! someone from your past shows up in front of your face, and I think I overenjoyed that moment talking with him, because I wanted to let him know that I wasn't the same person as I used to be ...
