Hi guys! I'm thinking its time for a change from my traditional lack of ability talking to women, and am liking the looks of this forum!

So, about a year ago I moved to a new area (for new job) and pretty quickly got into a long relationship and fell into the trap of letting what little social life I had established fade away. So after the relationship ended a few months ago I was stuck with a virtually non-existent social life and a lot of time on my hands.

In my 25 years I've always been kind of bad talking with women I don't know well, mostly due to nervousness and not knowing what to say - but every now and again I'll have days and nights out where these problems seem to go away and I manage to confidently chat to girls, so I know I'm capable of it. I'd like to consistently achieve this state of mind, so then the game can commence!

Right now my conversational void is probably caused by the fact I'm not doing much outside work. I certainly need to get out, lead a more interesting life and socialise more - but that is hard as I don't have any non-work friends in my new area, and the work-friends aren't really going out much.

Anyone got any advice for pretty much starting from scratch in a new area? Or just any general advice for starting out with the game? My goal is to be gaming confidently either solo or with others pretty soon.
