Just start by being who you are and the rest can tak ecare of it self from there. When people try to hard to be something they are not many of us can pick up on it and that just kills what people think of you.

So, to make a long story short, I've been single for over a year now and I'm thinking its about time for me to start dating again.
But, my main problem is that I've lost some social skills I used to have, like walking up to random people and having great conversations and making plans to meet again. It's not that I dont know what to do, its just that I dont know what to say.

You're fucked ~ heterosexually speaking.
Go gay, or shock that monkey.
Report back with findings.

I didnt say that all women are bitches, just that there's a high percentage. Clearly my studies are wrong. Apparently men can be bitches too, cause you're being one right now.

You're going to start dating again? You got laid (we're guessing...by your words...just a few months ago) so how'd that dating thing go for you the 1st time, before you had to recuse yourself from the hectic scene of dealing with all them bitches?
What is that... 1 bitch lay for how many months of trolling? We need some more figures here to percentage up your batting average.
Make 'em up. The numbers, I mean.
I always did, lil sister.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

i take HUGE offense to y'all saying all women are bitches..ok that is like saying all men are assholes which is FALSE
THAT is why you are still single or have failed

good god...your post shouted hey i have been hurt
we ..all of us ..men and women, are different... to group us in one catagory ,because you had a bad experience ...is utter crap

Back to the subject at hand....
You know that old saying that goes, "You'll meet the girl of your dreams the minute you stop looking for her"?
It's basically true. One of the "meet the girl killers" is the stress you put yourself under because you have a "mission" to accomplish. I say, scratch that mission, along with all those theatre dialogues you are supposed to memorize from those help books about how to chat girls up.
A better idea would be to find a group activity where you could meet new people - mixed people. Try something new: ballroom dancing, a course in Manderin, an interest group for theatre or museums or something. Humanity subjects are always good. You won't find that many women who are registered members in the Manchester United Fan Club.
The important thing is that it should be something you always thought "Oh, I would like to try that". Please don't pick something you hate, but do it because you've heard that women love it. Women will spot you as a fake and twit in a New York Minute.
Once you find some interest group you like, and a girl in the group that appeals to you, the small talk "thing" will take care of itself. You would find a girl who shares at least one common interest that you do. Who knows what else you would have in common or enjoy doing together?
And I think group stuff would be better, since I get freakishly weird when one on one with someone HAHAHAHAA
