>How can I turn what I have with the people I've already met into proper connections?
I find that people who can't make proper connections are those who haven't fully invested themselves in someone they like enough.

Here's the elephant in the room. Once you find people you like, the big thing you should go for and not avoid is to actually plan and incorporate them into your future vision of success. Whatever that success may be defined for you. The important part is you include them in this vision and that you will have this conviction go through life with them through thick and thin as long as they have similar outlook as you on this.

That is how you make a proper connection in my opinion.
Your actions in the moment will naturally shift in attitude to be a lot more genuine and close once you have this goal in mind.
