Picking up girls is not as hard as it sounds. Many guys can't get over the fear of approaching a girl and starting a conversation. It can be a little intimidating, I know, but trust me, it's not the hardest thing you'll ever do in your life.
The first thing you need to know if you want to get good at picking up girls is, you need to learn how to attract them. You've gotta have a good energy. You should dress well, in clothes that fit you. You gotta be in a good mood. You gotta have a smile on your face and a bounce in your step.
Once you've got a good look going on, and you're in a good mood (sometimes listening to music helps) then start talking to some people to get your verbal game warmed up. That might mean calling a buddy to bullshit a little. Or you can go buy a drink and chat up the girl at the check-out counter. Just start talking to whoever will listen, to get yourself in the mood to talk to people.
Then when you see a girl you like. Approach her and get a conversation going. Use the environment to your benefit. That means, ask her about things around you. If you're in a coffee shop, ask her if she usually gets regular or decaff. That can open the doors to a whole conversation. Just keep asking questions, cracking stupid jokes, and eventually, you'll meet a few girls that will open up to you. If you've got your looks down, and you're having fun playful chat, that's about all you need to know when you're out picking up girls!
Once you get that down, you should practice flirting with girls.
