Uphill battle I’m ngl, I’d ask girls this to see if anybody’s had success, but I view this as unlikely scenario. Maybe get a guy friend to befriend them and use him as a bridge? Almost all guys are gunna view this as flirting, bc 90% of the time it probably would be. At least in my experience

I feel like I have achieved your dream but I have no way to lead you there lol. Different though because I’m a guy. Idk I’m just kindof a co ed institution. I think having a wide net through like a study group or whatever lets you actually choose people that pass the vibe check. I think inviting people to stuff in groups also helps not give the wrong impression.

I would just make it about class. Whenever you have a big assignment or exam coming up. Say, “hey would you guys like to study/work together?”. And then while you’re working you can suggest a coffee break

I’d be sure to invite them to public spaces and in a group. Maybe even ask them all at the same time in person. I tried asking a guy to come hang out with some of my other guy/woman friends at our dorm cause we were gonna have drinks and watch drake and Josh. He thought I was lying about all the people I mentioned who were coming and thought we were about to smash. he showed up and said “wait there’s actually people here?” I got offended like “yeah? Why would I lie about that?” …

Doing common hobbies together, inviting them to group hangouts etc for activities you think they’d be interested in, start out as study buddies and then just hang out before or after studying, etc

By “get the wrong impression,” do you mean think that you are more than just platonically interested in them?

And also just saying at the start that you’re not inviting them out as a date and saying you just want to hang out as friends
