ABSTRACT

On a scale of 1–10, where 1 is difficult and 10 is easy, how do you feel about making opening gambits with:

just one friend of the some sex os you?

just one friend of the opposite sex?

a group of friends of the some sex as you who have learning disabilities and need

work on conversation, assertiveness and relationship skills?

a group of friends of the opposite sex or a mix of males and females?

new people in a familiar place, for example, at college/work?

new people not 'on your territory' - perhaps in a pub or a waiting room?
