How do I approach a woman?

Be yourself. Don't try and be fake and drop lame lines on her. Just be calm and collected. All you have to do is walk up and say hi. Or if you are at a bar, see if you can buy her a drink.

Ask her name, where she's from and what kind of things she likes. Girls like it when guys seem interested in learning about them. It makes them feel special. Don't be overly aggressive and do not come on too strong.

Ok my question to you is, Do you hang around the same friend's, do you work with her?

It's far far faaaaaar less important what you say and all in how you say it. If you come up and just say "Hi. My name is_____." and put our your hand to shake hers and do all that in a confident and fun way, you're way ahead of the game. If you did the same thing mumbling your words starting at the floor she's not going to want to meet you.

What really helped me was Magic Bullets and the Venusian Arts Handbook. Both have great bits of advice on approaching women you're interested and go well into what it takes to approach and generate attraction.

My advice is don't be yourself, be your best self. Most people also say be confident, but never tell you how. My advice there is that success breeds confidence. Once you've approached dozens or hundreds of women you will be far less timid and way more confident in the approach. It just takes time and practice getting your delivery down.
