Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

I totally understand your predicament.

I recommend you get involved with your local synagogue and your local rabbi.

Explain to the rabbi your situation. I am certain that he can help you get invited out for most Shabbat meals. Get involved in all kinds of religious social/youth groups in your area. Look for Torah classes to attend and meet people there.

Expand your network. Be honest with people. And you will be getting more and more Shabbat invitations.

Wishing you best of luck!
