Seriously though, how do you go up to somebody at lunch and just start up a conversation that leads them to wanting to go out with you, I mean that just doesn't make sense to me.
You know the cliche pickup line of "nice shoes"? Well I hate to break it to you but it does work. Just walk up to her and say "hey, do you mind if I sit here?", then pick something of hers that sticks out, and say "hey that's a really nice/cool/pretty (insert item here), did you pick it out?" Just keep asking her open ended questions (NOT yes/no, those are conversation killers). Smile a lot and try not to interrupt her when she's talking, it's been studied and women almost never interrupt others while talking but men do it almost all the time. They'll notice if you let her talk and act interested.

Secondly, how do you ask for their phone number if they don't offer it? It seems rude to ask for it if they didn't offer.
Just say "hey, I'd really like to call you sometime, I know a great (insert activity or location) we can go do/to". They will either be into it or not. Even the Brad Pitt has gotten turned down, dont let it slow you down on the next girl if you do.

so I will probably not find any decent girls
Have you tried joining a Volunteer group? religious group?

Lunch and dinner are no doubt the only two places I have a shot at meeting anybody, and everyone goes in groups so it's not easy.
Try going to a coffee shop, there will be lots of girls there. Just look for the one who looks like she needs a break from studying, and keep the conversation light.

Forget it, I told myself over and over to ignore girls because there are no good ones, and I screwed up again. This one was just as bad as the rest..
Ever hear of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
