Men, what can I as a very shy girl do to make you approach me first?

Whatever you do, don’t surprise him. Let him know in some way that he can compose himself first. Every time I surprised some or someone ambushed me, it just went very wrong and ruined it all.
Like one time I had a very runny nose and I was covering my face and speed-walking and this girl I’m sure who liked me ambushes me to talk to me in the hallway and I had to excuse myself but quickly and I came off as weird and rude and it looked like I didn’t like her (but I did like her). And I didn’t think I should say “sorry my nose is running”. I’m not good with making up excuses. Then she spent many days trying to make me jealous by talking a lot with a guy who was like me but he already had a girlfriend.
Even if my nose wasn’t running, I’d be struggling to think of something interesting to say without preparing.

I’ll tell you an ever worse thing that happened. In a high school match class there was this girl who was one of the prettiest and hottest in the school (cheer leader too). One day she walked up to my desk holding a paper. She was silent and kind of blocking her face with the paper. I assumed she needed help with a math problem. She still wasn’t saying anything. And I stupidly said “Is there a problem?”
She got flustered and went back to her desk and put her arms on it and rolled her face around in her arms. A guy who saw the whole thing laughed. I was being a dense matter-of-fact guy. That’s dangerous if the girl is going to be vague because there’s a lot of bad possibilities of what can happen and only a few good ways.
On the other hand, I got my girlfriend when over the internet she asked me “Do you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend?” I said yes, and we’ve been together for 2 and a half years.

It doesn't matter, you're not going to do it. It's obvious when you lead with an excuse. Just be patient and wait, maybe some guy will eventually notice you. Because you're never going to be willing to put the effort forth necessary to change that.

The old-fashioned way! Have an accident. Drop something on the floor near me and I'll try to pick it up for you and the conversation can start automatically.

Give hints you like him. Catch his eye and smile, but in a non-joking way. If he likes you at all, he’ll probably catch on pretty quick. And if he likes you, and he knows you like him, he’ll approach you sooner or later.

Ditch the headphones, put down the phone, make eye contact with him often, be near him, try not to be in a place with too many people

That's easy and you know the answer already dress sexy.

Flirt using body language. But make sure you do it showing interest. Sometimes, we mistake as being friendly

Be yourself. The right guy will approach you

Smile, keep open body language, make eye contact
