Help: should I shoot my shot?

I need help.
I'm 21, never dated, never been in love, and I'm tired of that shit.
I want to date.
I'm ready for love.
I'm ready to be dicked down.
I'm ready for heartbreaks.
I'm ready to have my ass smacked, and a tongue shoved down my throat!
So, this year I plan to start shooting my shot.
There's this cute guys I've seen around my uni campus a few time, around 3 times now. I'm attracted to him.
I want to talk to him.
I want him to know I fucking exist and I'm interested.
So, peps, if ten of you say shoot your shot, I'm doing it.
Fuck it! We live once qnd die once!
If I get rejected, I'll just move on!
What I want to do is this:
1. When I see him next (Thursday), I plan to maintain eye contact and smile.

2. Next Thursday, or any other time we cross path, as we're walking, I want to smile at him, keep eye contact, and say "Hi. This might seem weird and all, but I've seen you around and I was just wondering if we could exchange numbers?"
Tell me to do it or if I should sit my ass down and stop trying.
I'm tired of waiting bc the guys I want are not the ones who come sniffing around.
Like the saying goes, if you want something, you should go get it, right???
Help!!!
