How to make close friends?

I went through a period of being shy when I was younger (junior school), but now that I'm 17 I find it easy to talk to people, make conversation, and generally put myself out there. I have quite a few people I would feel comfortable talking to if I saw them out, making jokes, perhaps eating dinner. However, my dilemna is I don't have very many close friends; people I'd feel comfortable asking to stay overnight at their houses, or going on holiday with (trying to plan leavers trips!!) or even people who I'm close enough that they will ask me to house parties and the like.

Basically, I'm wondering how do I increase closeness in relationships? Obviously, I want things to happen naturally, but if anyone has practical tips on becoming close to someone you're casual friends with, that would be super helpful :colondollar:

Try meeting up regularly like going shopping, to the cinema, bars etc. Whatever you are all into and hopefully you'll get to know them better and become more close.

It's not much but hope it helps :smile:
