Hey guys, So for the past 4-5 months i'v been socially 'separated' so to speak. At my university there isn't really anybody I get along with because 90% of the guys i met are just shallow and/or uneducated and the other 10% are just people who are nice but i would not hangout with.... Yes. I know not everybody in the uni is like that, im not ignorant, but from those whom i met and socialized and hangout with on campus(over 15-20 people); They are how I described.

Now, Because of this, my social life has been non-apparent. In school I obviously had my school friends who were an okay bunch (I keep in contact with 1 of them who is all i have as a good friend right now) and upon starting university i was expecting to meet and create more friendships, Lo behold the opposite happened.

For the first time in a longtime, I approached a girl at my gym because I was so pissed of being alone and just having nothing fun to do in my life and the conversation was okay, but i think i gave the impression of a friend rather then somebody who was interested in getting to know her on a personal level, I was actually pissed off with myself afterwards... I had troubles generating an intimate conversation. Before this 4-5 month period I could make another laugh, speak on personal topics and give whatever impression i intended out.. But because i have not practiced my skills in such a long time, Iv forgotten them.

Im not an anti-social person, I actually naturally thrive off socializing, It keeps me sane, and because I haven't had any socialisation Iv gone numb. Lost my socializing skills and interests in general topics of discussion, I absolutely get turned off and close conversations when something like 'football' is discussed.

MY QUESTION IS! What can i do to regain my natural rhythm and smoothness that I had in the past considering Im like a blank piece of paper recently.

Also, How can i get intimate with another using the cold approach? The cold approach is the only way i know to approach a woman im interested in.

FYI: When i approached the lady in the gym, She was having problems with an equipment and i used that to my advantage.. I helped her out and complimented her hair afterwards then went back my weights. stuffed up here by leaving the scene, i know

I done 2 sets then walked back to her and asked her if she was new around here, how long has she been training, spoke on these topics for about a minute.. then i put my hand out and introduced my self formally. Asked her where she is from as her name was unique then said nice to meet you and left.

When i walked off, i reflected on my game... It felt too 'friendly'. I wanted to grab her number but i didn't know how to go about it. How should i go about this?

Thanks guys...
