Firstly I want to say that I have close to 0 experience with dating. I will be moving to new city where I be starting university soon and want to take some tips on how to improve my game. Although dating is not going to be my first priority I would like to at least become better at it.

Things I am not sure on how to improve:

I usually spend most of my spare time at the library/gym/my room so not the best for dating.

I find it hard just to go to random women on the street and get her number (I tried giving compliment to women on street but I couldn't get myself to do it, I am just worried that they will think it is creepy and makes them uncomfortable).

I don't know how to read women and know if they are interested or if they are being nice (I missed a big chance in the past because of this, where she made the move 🙃).

I also want to know if anyone has had positive outcome from reading books, do they help?

Any tips would be appreciated
