Are you close to a library? If so look up friends.
I'm sure there are some books there.
This book isn't new but my ex took a course on on
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" That
has a lot of good ideas. Maybe some of your friends
own the book.
I've found that asking questions to get people to talk
works well for me. Most people like to talk about
themselves. There are a few who don't want people
to know them that don't-- but they are the minority.
Have you moved yet?
