Backstory: Im in my early 20s and have no clue on how to ask out a girl in the real world. In school and college, you could pretend you in the same class and ask to study. But I have NO IDEA how you would approach a stranger. I literally dont know how I would break the ice or how to lead the conversation to getting her number.

Do you have any examples on how to approach her or what to say without seeming awkward?

Also how would ask her out if she was with her friends because I would imagine she would be less likely to say yes.
