Try online and practice social skills. Give it plenty of time and maybe a nice date will come of it. Filter very carefully!

I unluckily didn’t have children and I guess it would make me force to go out of my comfort zone much more. I do understand you.
Social anxiety may be so paralysing in many aspects in your life. Nearly everything has to do with relations with people: Most of works, University, friendship, love, many hobbies...
And yes, social skills and facing to these moments of anxiety by using them in the way you may use them in a point in time are helpful. Of course, you are not gonna get cured but you can progress and get some kind of desensitisation to certain circumstances.
