once your out of highschool the whole "fall in love at first sight" thing becomes creepy stalker behavior, just got to take shotgun approach and ask people that interest you out.

worse they can say is no, right? (...wrong, they can say alot worse than no, but that's the risk you gotta take)

Pua is also the name of the pig in the Disney movie Moana, and I'm not sure what dating tips one can pick up by watching that, but maybe OP can try that instead.
