I'm by absolutely no means an authority to speak about depression, mental stuff, or being single...
From what i know about you MrB you can easily hold a conversation, and some might say you even have "the gift of the gab"..... i know of a couple of people who have openly described you as "a real character"..... all i can say is don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with anyone, however small... its all good practice
I'd always seen myself as quite a shy guy but just striking up conversations with random people in daily life, doesn't half make you feel like you can chat to anyone.... and if you do get round to asking a woman out, if they're anyway decent people, even if they're not interested they won't take offence... i know from experience, and one of my better friends at the moment is a woman who i asked out and she said no!
I've recently been chatting to a woman in the gym who is an absolute stunner... beautiful, Italian descent, nice to talk to... i doubt i'll get round to asking her out (mainly because i don't think its heading in that direction), but if you told me 5 years ago i'd be bowling up to some gorgeous woman in the gym and just start chatting to her with no hesitation, i'd have not believed it... it really is just small steps.
I guarantee next time you're queueing in the bar at the Craven Arms and you see some woman you recognise, just say hello... you might surprise yourself!
