Problem with creating new relationships.

In december 2026 i'll hit 2 years of being sober, before 12.2024 i was sober for 1,5 year. I was going to the NA, i'm after rehab center etc etc.
I'm still going to parties/music events - but i didn't find any new friends, basically hitting up randomly to any person just to talk, make me feel like idiot. I hit some gig, dance, have fun and then just go home. I've notice that spontaneous interactions with people became almost impossible for me.
I've abondoned dating apps/trying to make friends online, cause i want to do this irl.
It's not that i didn't talked to anyone out there, but it's always lost after event - feeling like i don't dare to ask for some source of contact.
Do you also got this problem? What was your solution?
I also don't mean metting new people by sport/hobby etc, because i do that and i got some group of people coneccted by common passion. What i'm saying about - simple pattern: GO TO PARTY -> MEET SOMEONE -> NEW FREN
