Is there a website that will teach me proper manners?
I do ok but Im sure I can do better. I don't have bad manners or anything.
If looked at a few websites but they just teach dinner party etiquette.
For example I have started saying "Think you very much" Instead of "Thanks" and that seems to be well received.
So any ideas?

Hi VictoryV, I think this is the kind of thing you might be looking for?

If you scroll through the tabs at the top it gives ideas for life in general rather than for just dinner party situations. (I've only quickly scanned through, but hopefully it'll help somewhat?)

Difficult - I'm not up on websites I think that if you can assume that you do not use any short forms of address you will generally be okay. Re. Last word - an example of no short forms (OK), but one would use 'alright'. Actually it would be better to use 'very well', 'fine' or 'agreed'.

Basically, do not be casual. 'How do you do?' or 'How are you?', not 'Everything OK, right?' Remember your English lessons at school which should have told you how to extend your sentences. If I come up with anything else I will get back. Just be polite and use proper English. Sorry I'm no good at websites, but feel free to ask me anything with which I can help.
Best of luck with your search.
Seems to me you may be overly worried about your image. Saying, "Thanks", is fine. You might profit from a self confidence course.
