Finding a Partner Seems Impossible

[Gratuitous Grace]

Just speak to strangers. While you're waiting at the bus stop or while you're sitting in a train to work..

Doesn't always have to be girls, you can practice your SOCIAL skills on guys too. Expand your social circles

Don't force a conversation, that can be terribly annoying.

^--- THIS! This is AWESOME advice. When I was in very early sobriety, and could barely say my own name, this is how I "retrained" myself. By just making casual conversation with strangers. Made observations, gave compliments, started stupid chit-chat in totally insignificant situations. I became a conversationalist again. And then when things turned from insignificant to significant, I was able to start saying the right thing at the right time. With ease and spontaneity. Nothing forced.
