Your first goal is to break your AA. Many ways to do it but I find these three steps useful:
1) Eye contact: in a public place, look at someone in the eye (guy or girls, but guys are usually harder); when the person notices you, hold the eye contact until the other person looks away. If the person comes to you and ask what's your problem, just say the person looks like one of your friend who's supposed to be away.
2) Singing: walk into a public place with an iPod, and sing one of your favorite song loud enough for people around to hear.
3) Opinion opener level 0: approach a girl, say you're not from here, ask if there's a good coffee around, ask her if she goes there often, ask her why she likes the place. Don't bother choosing a girl, just go for the first one that comes--HB or ugly, alone, with BF, with GF... Or if you can, do it with a friend and ask him to chose the girl.
Good luck.
I will give it a try.
Singing in public will definitely help me get out of the comfort zone.
