carry on a conversation for 15 minutes then say
"It was nice meeting you,___. I'd like to see you again. May I have your number?"

Wait until the day after next and then call her/him and ask out for coffee (or whatever).

And it isn't that freaking easy. It may be for people like you, but you don't understand what it's like. What do you especially like about...what!? I don't go to movies, don't really care for mainstream tv, know nothing about music...and I hate sports. I hardly doubt walking up to someone and saying 'Hey, what do you particularly like about the dynamics of R and K specialists in an successional account of ecological change?' would provide much help to me.

I mean other than that you have to muster the courage to actually come up to someone. That's the hard spot, that's what is hard. It blows up in my face, and it blows up in my face, and it blows up in my face, it always seem to blow up in my face. After it happens so often, one starts to think that they may be that damned worthless. But you wouldn't know about that, I suspect people like you have men and women hanging off of you all the time and have always had that natural charisma.

And deep down I know it's very simple. It's just the sort of simple that, for me, is hardly so. I don't hold conversations...if I do talk to someone I tend to blather randomly. And if I do end up in a conversation...I tend to tell untruthes, about what I really feel. Deep down, I know I can be a tiger...and be all these things that would get me women and sex...and everything else. I just don't know how to tap that...tiger...usefully.
