I just got divorced this year and I'm 35M wanting to get back into the game after about 5 years out of it. I'm having trouble getting over mental blocks in my head. Most of my friendship circle is married, so I don't really have many friends to go out with. At times I get bored so I just head out on my own.

In London the trouble I'm having is that most of the places I go whether I'm with friends or not, girls seem to be in large groups and I can't get over how to approach them and break the ice, be it at festivals, pubs, clubs. In a bar its fairly easy to strike up a convo but I always struggle with places where people seem to congregate in their own friendship groups. Any advice on this?
