In the end you still have to make the first step and talk to the girl of choice.

I'm probably am introvert too and no matter where you go, women won't make the first step. So practice that. Best is to go to a place you like and talk to people there about why you like it or just ask harmless questions. Talk to them as if they were a friend.

Stop using the introvert tag as an excuse to shape your personality.

All it means is that you need some time to yourself to recharge. Your brain processes information a bit more than other people. That's it.

It has nothing to do with going out and meeting people, being social, or being happy. If you can't do that than you're just shy and nervous. These are habits you need to overcome.

It may be easier for an extrovert, but falling back on being an introvert isn't going to help.

Listen up: west coast swing dance or salsa dance classes.

Dont worry if you can't dance, literally no one else there can either. Which is why they're there.

You might think you're just there to learn to dance, but what you're actually learning is a useful skill that will allow you to meet women. As the class rotates partners, new women will literally come up to you and introduce themselves, and then interact with you, till they rotate away and a new woman comes up and introduces herself.

Even if you're not attracted to your female classmates, eventually you will be going out social dancing in order to practice the moves you learned in class, and your female (and male) classmates can and will act as social proof and pivots when you're out dancing. This prevents you from having to show up alone not knowing anyone or how to create interactions. You'll already know people, AND how to interact with them ("would you like to dance?").

And if you are attracted to a classmate, then you have a reason to meet up with her outside of class ("oh are you going social dancing at xyz spot tonight? Cool I'll see you there").

Also if you stick with it and actually get any good at it, A that will automatically increase your confidence level when you do go out social dancing, and B its an automatic DHV when dancing with someone who's newer than you to be better than them.

And, this is just my personal observation but, as an athletic yet introverted guy with geeky friends and fellow dancers, I've found that some of the best dancers are the geeks. Maybe its our predeliction toward breaking down patterns and figuring them out, but I've definitely seen a correlation between good dancers and geek/introversion levels.

toastmasters...

work on those public speaking skills while meeting new people...

I don't like to drink and clubbing/bar hopping is totally not my thing.

better start making it your thing - it's the highest volume environment available on a regular basis, and carries a certain level of anonymity that makes it the perfect place to practice.

I'm in college but my school is tiny and I'm in a program, in class with the same people every single semester..

All colleges have social events. go to them. ALL of them.

When you are dismissing clubs and bar you are essentially saying you want to fish but lakes or rivers arent your thing. That doesnt mean you cant hunt elsewhere for food, but youre missing out on highly populated food area by avoiding the rivers and lakes.

If you can be confident and take some risks at a noisy bar, etc, you could get the number to set up a meet in a more comfortable setting that you prefer more.

Otherwise in your situation I would say find new hobbies / classes or go online (just dont put your dead fish pics all over your profile, chicks hate that haha).

Tinder. Recently moved to London and it's an easy way for casual sex when not having much of a social life. Also a good way to get to know the city..

'Daygame' something or other, by Krauser. 'Day Bang' by Roosh. I, too am (somewhat) introverted, probably not as bad as you, so I dislike bars and clubs for meeting women. My game (Speed Seduction^TM) requires the use of my voice and I just can't get good, consistent results in a club. (I'm working on a direct, 'natural' approach for clubs, and have had some interesting success, but that's for another post) With day game, you can't really do kino escalation, but you can escalate verbally, and that for me is even better. I can talk about the nastiest, darkest, most depraved shit over an outdoor table at Starbucks and have her ready to drive me to the nearest Motel 6 in a couple of hours.

A lot of good advice but the jist of it is I have to put myself out there. I need to just get over how weird I feel approaching strangers in every day situations especially. I gotta get out of my own head, I imagine myself as being rude or bothersome approaching women because a lot of times I feel annoyed by people. Seeing a girl reading on campus, drinking coffee in a shop and just walking over and chatting them up seems rude in my head, like I don't have any reason to talk to them.

Learn game then go to Whole Foods or Starbucks. DON'T BE CREEPY, be charming.

Be the kind of person that you'd fuck. You know that ugly fat chick that tries way too hard? That's how the nerdy insecure guy is to girls. Attraction is subconscious.

Finally, the only way to get good at approaching women is to approach women.

It is said that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert on any topic; how many hours have you devoted in becoming the type of man a woman wants?

Those should help

Find new hobbies. Learn to shoot pool, play darts. Take up photography (you mentioned fishing so you seem kinda outdoorsy). Rock climbing. Anything you can get into and gives you an excuse to find people with similar interests.

Also, dont completely forgo bars. If you dont drink thats fine, you can still go into a bar, order soda waters with lime, and meet people.

Like, anywhere.
