cliche' dating question, but how do i over come the anxiety of meeting new people?

Question

What's the best way to over come anxieties of meeting people. my only two relationships were people i met online. i got to talk to them on the phone and stuff lots before i met them personally. now after too failed relationships i'm eager to get out there. however i've never really experianced the social life with crowds and all. i have my group of friends, but that's about it. i been hanging out with a new friend in our group lately and she's been trying to help me get out there more, but even with liquid courage, i'm still not ballsy enough to even talk to a chick without a push. Any help?

Answer 1

Meet people, all types of people, in a non-dating setting. Volunteer, take a class, join a club.
