For now, just start off as friends and be social. Get to know some girls and then find one who you could see yourself dating. Then, ask her on a date. Its best to have some conversations so that you can get to know each other rather then just asking out a random girl. You sound confident, which is always a good thing. Just be friendly and don't stress too much about asking girls out. Dating should be fun, it shouldn't be stressful.

Have you tried flirting at all? That can give off hints that you are interested in being more than just friends.

Maybe those girls just weren't interested in you. However, how do you know that you were stuck in the friend zone?

To be honest, Its the way they talk to me like hey bro! Aye dude. Like they intentionally address me with emphasis on those words. I just think I suck at flirting hahaha

Well that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't see you as boyfriend material Have you tried asking any of them to go on a date? Never know until you try

She probably did this because she was nervous, and in a group, things are less likely to be awkward.

As Nicole said, I would start off as being friends first, and getting to know people. Don't try to jump into the dating scene right away. I always think that friends make the best relationships (my boyfriend and I were friends for 2.5 years before we started dating, and we've been together for nearly 3 years now).

Talk, tease, tickle. Not necessarily in that order.
