It's just "love" that is a huge part of my life that I feel I'm missing out on. And also, I'd say that because you were there, of course. By that I mean, when I used to hang with my friends and they introduced me to their female friends, I would introduce myself and say something funny (or weird, in their eyes) and I wouldn't care because I knew that if she didn't like it, my friend(s) would laugh because I know his sense of humor. But I don't have any friends here, so I never really thought I could do that going solo.

OK, if you don't have friends to introduce you to people, you're going to get more of a "tell me about yourself" question, but it's the same basic idea. You have to understand what makes you attractive to others, and figure out how to show other people those aspects without coming across as desperate or arrogant. You seem to have the mental part half done, just convince yourself to get out there and break the shyness. There's a lot of good advice in this thread.
