Having problem asking girls out

well i dont know...what is your social life like?

I have recently relocated. So, currently there are a few (new) friends that I see often, and we do get together frequently.
I have few classes at uni. My uni workload is more individual projects.
I'm also learning a new language, so I meet some classmates every week, but I'm not interested in asking any of them out! However I don't have any problem having conversation with any of them.
Any other outdoor activity that I do, I do it alone; short travels, going to gigs, going to a new restaurant, whatever.

It occurs to me that I want to go and talk to a girl, but it would just seem so awkward trying to come up with some ridiculous conversation, and I'm afraid the whole situation might be just so unnatural and awkward for both of us that I don't even approach.

then you misunderstood me

asking girls out doesn't mean they will say yes, so you need to actually expose yourself to the situation and not be afraid to approach.
then you will get a mixture of rejections/ acceptances

...so if you aren't scared of being rejected, what's holding you back from asking.

I always see people/girls (who don't know me) doing their own business. I'm afraid the whole situation might be just so awkward, just going up to a stranger and asking her out. Is that what guys do?

Uni is a great place to meet a potential gf! dont worry about what you are going to talk about to a girl just let it flow otherwise it will sounds staged and fake, just say hey and maybe ask what theyre studying

I just can't go up to her and start talking when everyone around us is quiet and studying and she's focused on her own work. I don't think any guy does that.
I could hope for a natural conversation, but wouldn't it be weird if I suddenly ask her out?

yeah pretty much, or in more social situations like parties/clubs where mostly it's drunk courage

heck girls even get asked out online

or go and sit like next to her or like the same table or whatever and then start talking then it wont seem like you've just gone up to her and started talking, just be more confident

Does anyone actually do that? I always just see people minding their own business.

well i dont know , depends if you like them enough i suppose

I'm in early twenties, I have never asked a girl out, and I don't know how other guys do it.
Every day I see some girls at university or elsewhere that I would like to ask out, but... do other guys just go and talk to girls they have just met? Would it not be weird? Some guy approaching a girl, making small talk, then asking her out?
I don't think this is the way it works, I don't see other guys doing it, it certainly is not comfortable, but then, I can't see any other way.
How did others met their bf/gf?

Is it the case with most people that the guy gets to know the girl and after some time asks her out? It seems like a good way, except it doesn't work, since I don't see many people on a regular basis to get to know them. Even if I did, wouldn't it severely limit your dating pool, just dating girls you meet regularly?
I'm not often at parties, and when we get together it's usually a small gathering of friends. Meeting a girl through other friends hasn't happened either.

I'm not good at coming up with topics for conversation, but I don't have a problem talking to people I see in the few classes that I have. I honestly don't know in what situation asking a girl out can happen. And it's really bothering me, since I see girls every day in library, at university, outside on the street, everywhere! that I would like to ask out, but I just can't think of a comfortable, natural way of doing it.

Also, imagine I've asked a girl out. If the first date goes well, nor bad neither excellent, I think we're supposed to meet again (isn't that what the other person expects after an OK/good first date?), and then meet again, and then become bf/gf? And then I will forever be together with the first person I ever dated!

Well, I do find some girls attractive and I would really like to ask them out and get to know them. But in library, everyone is just quiet and minding their own business.That's the whole problem. I can't find a good situation/setting to ask them out.

I think you could ask a girl out in a party, but when I meet people, it's usually in small gatherings of just the few of us friends.

Would you ask a girl you just met out outside party/club? It would just mean "hey, I think you're attractive. Would you go out with me?" which is actually the truth! but I just think a girl would find it weird if a guy does that.
Why do I never see people doing that?

Go out to pubs with mates frequented by Uni girls, have a drink, and your inhibitions will drop.

It's not applicable to me. I have just recently started a master's degree in a different uni than my bachelor's.
Would it be weird if I go alone? Weird or not, I'm pretty sure what will happen is that I will just have my drink and then leave, and not approach anyone. Well, maybe if I see a girl alone, but I don't think girls would go alone to pubs, and I just won't be able to approach them in a group.

Personally I'd find it weird if a guy asked me out when i first met him.. I think you should just start talking to girls first and get to know them, and then you can ask them on a date

You get to know as many girls as you can through friends, through societies, through work, through chatting to them in pubs.

A few times a week, you meet a different one in a bar or nightclub - might be the same night you met them.

No-one EVER says anything like "would you go out with me?". You're not 8 years old.You enquire what they're doing that Friday night. You then make your friends go to the same place. You then make out with them and then take them home.

you can go to the pub alone, as long as you talk to people. Sit at the bar and chat to the barman. I often get chatting to girls almost by accident. They often say hello when they come up and order a drink.But its best to go with friends, really. Why don't you make some friends quickly?

Resilience is the key, just keep asking girls out till one says yes.
