soma, you sound like you are doing everything great. I also am a shy person, but taking initiative like this and putting yourself out there was a very brave and admirable thing to do. I have found similar results to what you are describing. People like people, and just presenting yourself to others will most likely result in a friendship, or at least personal growth on your part.
I am veyr proud of you and you should be too. You will just have regrets if you don't put yourself forward.
As for keeping your door open, keep it open as much as you can. It doesn't matter if others do. Who knows, you may become the person who everyone know is always available to talk and create a great reputation and experience for yourself in the dorms. Also, this way you get people coming to you, so you don't have to constantly be fearing if they want to talk to you, since they will be the initiators.
Just be open to others, and enjoy your time there. Make friends, you may have them for life.
