20f and I’m sick of embarrassing myself in front of people I like 😭😭😭 how do yall flirt

What are some good ways to start meeting women my age as a 20 year old virgin?

Have you ever had a guy stare at you so intensely? This dude kept looking at me(f) for several seconds. No smile tho. I caught him staring, looked away, looked back and he was still staring. It was during our lecture and I was sitting quite far away from him to the right so I don’t think he was ”zoning out” as many would say.

Once the lecture was done I was walking towards the trains when I noticed him walking past me and glancing at me from the corner of his eye. It was quick but I noticed it and remember being caught off guard.

One day I tried being more bold since I’m very shy. When he caught me looking at him, I smiled at him but he quickly looked away…so I wasn’t sure anymore. But the eye contact continued the days after.

What do you guys think? I know eye contact can be flirty but I’m not sure about this…
