So I’ve recently started college and there’s a few cute girls on my course I wouldn’t mind befriending?

I know that most likely they would friendzone me but I enjoy the company of a relatively cute girl? Would I just be setting myself up to be a beta orbiter?

So far I’ve kept to myself and just focused on myself and my own needs and didn’t chase any girls on my course unlike some other guys who seemed quite desperate for their affection and attention?

My plan is to just keep lifting, go clubbing and use dating apps and maybe approach the off girl on campus if I feel like it? Is this a good plan?

How do you guys deal with girls at college? Where do you guys hunt for girls in general?
