Key to improving: Be confident in yourself. Without it, you'll not want to be around people and cannot be around people.
Now as to how you can go about improving your social stuffs (assuming you're in college?[or i suppose this would help in High school too])
1. Ask yourself: what do you enjoy doing? The best way to interact and talk with people, is about stuff that you have in common.
2. So now that you know that, Find yourself people who ALSO share this passion. This could mean doing a little research on clubs/hobby stores/ groups that enjoy doing that thing.
3. Be open to talking with people (if you did above, then it should be EZPZ). DO NOT be something you're not. If you are, you're only hurting yourself.
4. OPTIONAL: If you're feeling uber confident, join a fraternity. Social or networking type (hell even a service frat). Fraternities in college are one of the main places to socialize and talk to people. Some are even Co-Ed so you'll meet yourself some nice girls too ;D
This is in general. Since i, myself, have yet to be in any sort of more-than-friends relationship, i dare not say anything for relationship advice. With the above, you can make friends with ANYONE as long as you don't alienate people (such as giving off a creeper vibe and/or talking about stuff that you probably wouldn't talk about over a nice dinner [however, if that is your cup of tea, then find people who like that type of tea and you'll have a lot in common
])
