lulz I agree with EVERYBODY!
Seriously, it actually shouldn't be too hard for you; even if you are fugly (I don't know if you are or not, I try not to go on assumptions when I help people with stuff like this).
One of the greatest ways? Go to the mall. If a girl is walking around and some guy isn't carrying her bags, she is probably single. Or go for groups. Generally at least ONE of them is single.
But how do I approach this/these girl/girls? Go with what YOU like. If you are a music nut, try talking to someone in FYE or something. If you see that she is checking out one CD, give her the name of a band that she may like based on that CD. Talk to her about the bands hooks, how the vocals are, if they have a kick-ass drummer, etc. [If you don't like music-which is weird-then go with something else. Stop into Best Buy. Go to Waldenbooks. Not Victoria's secret though. Single+guy in there=pervert]
But what do I do from there? You simply talk to them about something. Ask what she majors in, what school she goes to, if she likes it there, etc. If you guys hit things off, exchange numbers, and then ask her out to something fun, like bowlingor mini golf. It breaks the cliche of a nice dinner at your 'favorite' restaurant. As if it's really your favorite. We all know you prefer KFC! xD
