My current level is: "Practice. Practice. Practice." Should I befriend women who are not gonna have sex with me?

Depends on how far you went with them. Having women as friends can be a really good idea. As they have other friends that they can introduce to you.

But if you went to far and they already blew you off, seeing you as a beta orbiter, that might not be worth it.

yes. as someone who had to overcome extreme shyness, the best way to learn to talk to people you are interested in romantically is to learn to talk to people in general.

My experience was that getting comfortable talking to people in general led me to being comfortable talking to guys (I'm gay) in a bar or party setting, which led me to being able to talk to guys I was interested in.

I looked at like the interviewing advice I got in business school: every intereview, even for positions you are not interested in, make you a better interviewer, so when the big interview for the dream job comes along, you'll have the necessary skills

However, I wouldn't try to make them friends....just acquaintances. in general, I find being friends with women is a onesided realtionship in their favor.

If you practice being a friend you won't learn to be a lover. Practice how you play. Go approach more.

Only as long as you do not want to fuck them. Otherwise you are being friendzoned, which is never a good thing.

E: If she has hot friends that is a big plus.

As long as you don't replace male friends with female ones. Having female friends is fine - just don't let them use you, and definitely don't be guy who hangs out with all chicks all the time. That's a really bad sign because it means real men don't consider you one of their own.
