How do I make friends / date a guy when I'm socially lacking?

hm, you probably gonna have to go out on a limb a bit.

if you wanna date the guy maybe try smiling a bit at him for a few seconds longer than usually but if he is socially awkward he will retreat so do it again a few times for him to get sure of it, he might need time to get his head sorted out. Then if he start talking to you a bit out of nowhere or something ask him out on a coffee/drinks. If he does nothing or retreats you just had bad luck. Most people dont like most other people so don't get discouraged :D

Alternatively making friends is actually a bit complicated without conversational skill in my opinion, ask him about his stuff maybe, like where he got them and similar things? Try to get natural conversation going, try planing some topics to talk about.

Thanks. I'll try to smile at him more, but I don't know if he'll notice. We sit right next to each other at one table so I never really turn my head to talk to him.

I want to ask him to come over or go get coffee. But like I said, we aren't really friends so I think it would be kind of awkward.

hm, try asking him something, like borrowing or looking at some item on his table.
Its kinda good if its a bit weird or redundant question, that should signal him you are interested.
And of course smile while asking him. If you smiled before when talking with him, dont smile the same way as you did before so he has a bit more of a clue that there is something on your mind :D

Even if it doesn't work out in your favor, you'll still be alive, it's not the end of the world. Dont let fear control you and deny you your happiness!

Thats why I said that:
