This is indirectly a seduction question, but more so it's just a question on conversations with people in general.

I'm very confident talking to people in ones or twos, but in situations talking to/ getting to know entire groups of people I notice quite a drop in my conversational abilities. Some examples of this would be participating in group discussions at dinner parties, or approaching and talking to groups of people in bars. In these environments I believe I focus too much on individuals rather than talking in a way that encourages more of a group discussion. There's something markedly different about being effective in smaller discussions versus being effective in group discussions. It's an area I'm very keen to improve in.

Any tips, thoughts, or recommendations on this subject are welcome.
