How to ask a guy out at the gym?

Hey everyone.

I'm 23F and almost 24 already ,never went on a date before or even had a boyfriend or anything with a guy. I feel so lonely and want a boyfriend who I want to marry in the future. But there's literally no guy who ever asks me out seriously. The only men who asked me out were creeps or two guys who aren't my type at all.

I am not even ugly or anything, i sometimes notice guys keep looking at me or turn around to look but never talk to me. I wonder why, I don't even look scary imo. My mom then said I should ask someone out if they never ask me out. But my dream was to be asked by a guy out and not me chasing other men like I'm desperate. I feel like a desperate guy crazy girl.

I'm going to a gym recently and noticed a cute guy there, I want to ask him out but don't know how to. He will probably think I'm asking every guy out. I'm a really awkward and socially anxious person so I'm scared.Plus I don't know if he is even interested in me, I don't wanna embarrass myself. Also I first want to be friends and not jump into dating so quickly..

And I wonder if any guy would ever like me. I don't have a job and dropped out of school because of mental and physical health issues. I'm still trying to find something to do and I'm still not feeling well . I feel like i would have much more confidence and feel loved if I had someone by my side, cheering me on. But who would even want a girl who is sick.

Some advice pls
