play good music in the background (if there are any lulls in the conversation makes them less noticable)

This is one reason I love my DH. He is never socially anxious EVER. It would never occur to him to be nervous meeting someone new.
Just remember 2 drinks with new people is probably good, unless the vibes are perfect, then maybe 3.

OP, first of all .. putting this much angst into this is not going to help. Good God Woman, act like you *have* friends.

I am out of practice making new friends! Kept meeting up at sports, made plans to hang out, and the big day is here - going out to dinner (DHs as well). I'm kind of jittery! What if we run out of conversation topics 10 min in? What if I am super boring? Help! Techniques, strategies, etc??
