Congrats Paras, I remember when I first found out about VWO in 2012.

An amazing outcome and a testament to you and the value of staying the course over 15 years!

Extrovert networker/sales guy here.

My advice is to focus on the things that really interest you. If you are passionate about something, you'll get good at it and with skill you will gain a quiet confidence.

Join a club (non tech/engineering related), if you suck at whatever it is, people will be there to help you and teach you, you'll make friends!! And as you get better, you can then help the other newbies that join up.

Quiet confidence is the critical success factor in the lady front. If you are focusing on you and doing things that interest you, you will meet the right kind of woman. If she's put off the fact you don't have a car - she's the wrong woman for you anyway.

As previously said, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People is a must read'... a must!

Once you have read it, THEN talk to a stranger everyday. Treat it as an iterative process, split test approaches, track responses etc. You will learn through failing forward, it's the only way.

Best of luck!
