Just be yourself...introduce yourself and make friends with a person, find out what they like to do, Try to learn if you have anything in common with a person, Talk about what you enjoy doing, what your hobbies and interests are. If you like to paint, if you like to go to watch baseball games or car races, or if you like to go hiking or fishing, Whatever it is, talk about it with her and find out what she likes to do.
If you share any similar likes in common, If you both like to do the same thing(s), after you've talked to her for awhile and discover something that both you and her like, ask her for her phone number. Then call her in a few days or so, and invite her to go with you sometime. (if it's hiking, museums, whatever it is you talked about with her, just ask her to go with you when you go. If she says yes, then discuss the date and time that best fits her schedule).
If for some reason she's too busy, if she wants to be with you, and she likes you, she will find a way to do it, or else invite you to go some where with her. If not, you will know it and it's time to move on, and just politely end the conversation. There are plenty more fish in the sea.
No matter how a person looks on the outside, it does no good to be a companion to someone who has totally different ideas and interests than you, that is no fun for either person involved. The goal is to enjoy life with someone who enjoys some of the same likes and fun times as you do yourself, so you can BOTH enjoy your friendship together. If the person genuinely likes you, she will be eager to get to know you better and to want to be with you, in the same that way that you want to get to know her and be with her.
The strongest relationships are friends AND lovers together. You know, a good woman, is someone that you can be yourself with, chum with, and make good memories with. Someone who loves some of the same things as you. Someone who loves you for who your are as a person and who will stand beside you in the good times and the hard times. Someone who's faithful and kind, thoughtful and caring, that is what makes beauty,
Take your time, test the waters so to speak, THEN later on, a friendship you've made with a person, may grow into something more than friends. If it doesn't, that's ok too, because the worst that can happen, is you've made a good friend.
