I want to reiterate the desperation point. I don't want to relate girls to dogs (my girlfriend wouldn't be pleased!) but girls can smell fear! A rare few like it, and a sad few take advantage of it, but the vast and most pleasant majority shy away from it.
Start as friends and see where it goes. And if you see a cute girl walking along, 1) smile at her, and if she smiles back, 2) approach her or say something complimentary, depending on your distance from her, etc., and 3) talk a bit and, before leaving, ask for her number! Trust me, it's a good bit.
BTW, I met my girlfriend of 9 months through a mutual friend (who I had been hitting on at one point...DOH!)
