Getting a girlfriend

I really want one before the end of the semester

actually, you don't really need any of those things, although they will all increase your chances

the basic formula is: be attractive, interact with lots of people, express interest when an opportunity arises. Find ways to increase your value, increase the amount of women you meet, and your skill at interacting with people and it'll fall into your lap eventually.

For me Im hesitant to show too much interest in a girl or even a guy (not gay I mean to be friends) it seems like any time I ever put any real effort any time I really push for anything it always back fires but when I just sort of passively act nice it slowly draws people in. There are some QTS I've run into and there's this one at dodgeball club who is nice to me, gives me tips on the game, remembers my name, and we chilled on the bleachers and talked and shit, I dunno if it means anything but she gave me her raisins, yeah sure I'd like to ask her out but ive litetally never been sucessfull before by "trying hard"

If you're interested express interest. That's it. If they shoot you down move on.

you've got the stink of desperation on you dude. chicks can smell it no matter how much you bathe. Try all the stuff you mentioned and swear off women for awhile. get really involved in that stuff and make yourself happy first. then try to slowly approach women.
you sound like a codependent, why do you need a female to validate you so much? figure that out, work on it, and then you'll have much better luck without even realizing it.
