How to make social contacts from scratch?

I am an aspergers man and I want to know how to gain social contacts and skills from scratch mostly and get good at it. I just started working as a volunteer position and it's my first time in a while. I am determined to want to push it to the limits, if only I had a specific goal in mind. To me, my necessity, while not necessarily a passion is to network with people, and my passion, but not a necessity is to get a date/relationship. So it's tough area. I need guidance.
 
This fellow asked a question, hung around for 3 days, and
hasn't been back since. He wanted to know how to accomplish
what he saw as his separate social issues: 'passion' and 'necessity'.

Apparently nobody had any ideas they cared to relate.

I think the self-described situation of 'needing' to 'network' with
people and having a 'passion' for wanting a 'date/relationship'
explains a lot of the difficulty he was experiencing.

Gaining social contact & skills 'from scratch' makes a picture of
a person isolated and casting about for situations. Surely working
as a volunteer provides some human contact. I think this was a
case of a person overlooking possibilities.
