Don’t manipulate people for consent, be optimistic, try to build habits that allow you to feel confident in yourself if you’re lacking that. Do that even if you are confident in yourself, because sometimes people’s confidence is coming from a shallow place. Learn to respect and love yourself. Be empathetic. Listen, communicate and validate their emotions. But don’t avoid things.
Lowkey as a woman, I would say the easiest way is to try to meet someone naturally and become friends or at least like to the point where you talk if you see each other and from there see if they’re interested in going on a few dates or let them know that your interested in them. From there it should develop naturally, just don’t try to pressure anyone if they aren’t interested.
