Right, I'm a complete newbie/idiot when it comes to OLD. I've dipped my toes in the water briefly in the past, just going back again for another go and have realised just how socially inept I am . I've actually limited dating experience - came out of a 15 year marriage 2 years ago, was in a 7 year relationship before that......being involved with someone else for so long meant being socially a bit crap seemed to not matter that much. And now I need to Talk To People and sound interesting and I don't think I know how
It's the initial/early stages of chatting that i'm really unsure about - what to say/ask, how to move the conversation along, when to stop trying. I'm not the most confident and very aware i'm far from a stunner so I think i'm a bit sensitive to making an idiot of myself. Any advice please, very gratefully received.
