Hey there,

Being friends with a girl is the best place to start, the best relationships do come from friendship, well so I believe anyway.
I don't think looks are the most important thing, personality means so much more. I think a lot of people think looks are important but I fall for personality and not what someone looks like.
You're still young, lots of people haven't had their first relationships by 17 and this doesn't matter, you will find someone, it takes time.

I can understand how groups would intimidate you, they intimidate me, maybe try speaking to people in small groups of say 3 or 4.

Try just speaking to smaller groups and see how you go with that, or just speak to lots of people 1on1 and see how that goes.
The more people you speak to the more your confidence will grow!
BTW- lots of girls find shy guys cute!

I'm always here if you need to speak.
