   Mate, if you get *past* the GRAB part, there is no hospital. Fumble 
away...   :)

Other people have social skills.

(And friends - don't forget friends! Apparently in a survay 80% of 
people said they met their husband/wife through their friends.)

Not all of them. I can say, from recent experience, that I have very bad 
luck at reading what people are actually saying and meaning. That alone 
is not enough of an excuse. Smiling helps, as does being able to talk to 
them. Light conversation normally, it's not often that physics will come 
up and the best conversation continuing device is "I wrote an RK4 solver 
last week." but sometimes that will work too. "Hi, how are you, have you 
seen New Movie Of The Week? What did you think of it/Would you like to 
see it?"

This is easier then finding a date. Smile, and be ready to listen to 
anyone. After you chat with them a few times, pick a day you aren't 
doing anything and invite them out to a pub to continue what ever the 
last conversation was.

See, now you've made a friend. You can do the whole thing without a pub, 
substituting other local hang out.

You'd have to know what New Movie Of The Week *is* first. ;-)

A better technique seems to be to just ask the person about themselves - 
maybe that person isn't a film fanatic anyway?

I tried this. The person I was speaking to started laughing.

Hysterically.

Eventually she finished laughing her **** off, and politely declained.

I asked a different person by email. I couldn't help noticing that the 
reply was written in very formal language, with strong undertones of 
"please don't speak to me ever again".

I have tried and tried and tried to convince people to be friends with 
me. So far, I have failed completely. What can I say? I guess people 
just hate me...
