The good news is, you don't have to be excessively attractive or rich. If you look in the mirror and you can honestly rate yourself above a 3/10 when you wake up in the morning, you're hot enough ;D
If you honestly are Mister Fuggles, then don't worry, there are still girls out there, you may have to try this a few times before a girl will take notice (see how to handle rejection).

Step 1--Initiate.
The first thing you need to is to start a conversation with the girl. It's more important that you do it at the right time, the rest are details.
I'm sure you've noticed it's hard to approach women in groups, so what you want to do is find one that's alone or has maybe one friend.
When you have selected your target you can take one of two methods.
Method Alpha Mango Charlie:
This method is for those of you who are more shy. You wait until the most opportune moment. How will you know this moment? You will feel it in your gutt... not really, you just wait until she does something that may requite assistance. She drops something, she runs out of her drink, she sneezes, anything where you can say something like "excuse me miss, you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe..."
Method Beta Mango Charlie:
This is where you create a situation where it looks like you're being helpful to her. You tap her on the shoulder and ask her if this hair band is her's, or you get your friend drunk and ask her if she knows the number for a taxi to get him driven home.

Step 2--Elevate
Again, this is how you time it. The great thing about elevation is that it's not hard to do when you know how. Get in a conversation with a woman and women always say they like to be listened to... <_< but honestly, if you don't feel like it, just skim and pick out key words and phrases xD . The trick to elevation is that you elevate when she's said something interesting or does something interesting. Like if a woman's talking to you about how her father is Swedish, you just jump in and say something like "that explains why you have such lovely hair and eyes, where's your mother from?"
Make sure to carry on the conversation after, just slide in comments in all those little gaps and she'll know you're interested and she'll like the complements.

Step 3--Copulate
There are two kinds of girls that will come home with you typically. The girls that really dig you and the one night standers. The one night standers will come up to your room, sleep with you and probably be gone by morning. The long term girls are probably going to go to your room and mess around and expect you to call them the next day, typically.
To get to step three, you need to elevate for a while and then ask them up if they're not forward themselves. Euphemism is your friend.

The most important thing in the steps is timing, you can do it badly, but as long as you did it at the right time you can still get a good response.

How to handle rejection:
Girls will sometimes straight out tell you they're not interested. This is called rejection :]
If she thinks you're not attractive enough, tell her that you thought she looked desperate and you were doing her a favour to ask her out. You know how kids pick on other kids they like, same principal. When you put her down after rejection, it makes her want to win your approval. Do it lightly and with style though. Keep a cool head and don't make her rejecting you seem like a big deal.
In many cases, girls will realise that they are kinda attracted to you.
