How about if you were to hire someone to "drag you out of the house" and go have a good time?
Say maybe 10 times - make a contract with the person you hire. And you would get some sort of reward after 5 times out. Then another after 10 times out. The reward could be just a piece of candy or something simple - it is just something to congratulate you for doing a good job!
And then you could specify exactly what each time out would entail. Maybe the first time would be going with the person you hire to a coffee shop and having a cup of coffee. Then that is it, go home - good job!
Maybe next time do something which is a little more difficult for you. (You could start easy and slowly work yourself up to more difficult outings.)
And carefully choose the person you hire. Probably best to not hire a party animal from a fraternity with the worst reputation on campus!

Rather maybe go to the psychology department and ask a professor there to recommend a mature female who would be sensitive to your feelings and could "go slow" - go at your speed.
And this is just like learning the game of pool / billiards. There are easy shots and difficult shots. People want to practice the easy shots and don't want to practice the difficult shots. Yet to become good at the game, they need to work on the shots they are not good at!
