How to approach a guy in a non-flirtatious way?

So, I go to this golf class. I really have no guy friends...its actually pretty sad. There are a couple at golf I would like to approach...but here's the thing. I am not interested in a relationship, but I don't want to look like that or weird when and if I approach one of them. I also DO NOT want a reputation of like, "Oh man, look at (my name), she is talking to the guy!" (-_-) ~I have been around this course for a while now.

So, yeah. How do you approach a guy - even if his friends are around, - without looking like you are trying to flirt or just weird? Thanks

Oh, another thing...I never really talk to anyone that is my age other than just friendly girls that come up to me (Anti-social usually here). How would you feel if a girl, who never really approaches anyone, just walked up to you, and just talked the way you suggested?

Thank you. I know its a lot, but it is going to a needed cause

    not all guys want a relationship with every cute girl, or any girl, that happens to come by. Just start by saying hello and that you would like to play some golf with them. Or say the truth, say hi you guys are good, mind if i join you. but joining a group is hard, meeting a single person then joining a group is easy though. just wait until one of the guys you want to approach is alone and start talking, but make sure it isn't in a flirty way. Ughh, it's hard coming up with a solution without it looking like you're flirting -_- or you can get your friends to approach a group of guys together and just start having fun. i'm sorry if my advice is horrible, i really do but this question is hard because most guys would think you're hitting on him, the same would happen if it were a guy approaching a girl.

    the way i suggested it, i would think "she wants to compete" before i think "she wants me". but then again i'm not normal as a guy.

    So, let me get this straight. You want to make guy friends, but without seeming like you're interested in more? It's tricky because most women who want to be "friends" with a guy are interested in them, so unless it comes naturally, it will look like you're flirting. Just be yourself and let such things come naturally, stop trying so hard.
