Had a post work wine and nibbles 'networking event' to go to. Never completely comfortable at these sort of things. Bit strange really - I'd quite happily stand in front of a couple of hundred people and give a talk or presentation, but stick me in a room with warm white wine, trays of nibbles, and people I don't know and I'm a complete fish out of water.
I sometimes wonder if it might hamper my career somehow - the missed opportunity, the demonstration of 'poor' social skills - nevermind my social life. It's just a situation I struggle with, something that's neither natural to me, nor with which I'm comfortable.
This is why I've never tried speed-dating. Well, this and numerous other reasons...
