    This brings up a good point. You may not have a player with the best social skills. Depending on how comfortable you feel, RPGs do have some evidence behind them for teaching social skills. I believe "clinical roll" did some work on this, but my google-fu is failing me. Of course, this should not be done at the expense of the other players.
