Advice for a 15 year old boy trying to maybe get a girlfriend?

Hi. So as the title shows, I’m a year old boy 15 and I’m in my 2nd last year of secondary school (I’m in the uk so secondary school is basically highschool but you finish it at 16 years old). I would say I’m fairly average in looks and average height with a fairly big group of averagely popular friends. I’ve never really had a proper girlfriend. The closest I’ve been would probably be when I liked a girl, talked to her for a while and kind of asked her out but she said she didn’t want to lead me on and said no. About half a year later she texted me saying she kind of liked me so we were talking for a while again but she decided that she didn’t really like me as much as she first thought so we stopped talking but are not on bad terms or anything. Now I’ve been kind of wanting to properly be with someone else but no other girls have approached me and I am limited to who I could ask out since a lot of the girls who are attractive are in a different and bigger social group than me which would never work out for me (The girl I mentioned previously was also in a different social group to me which is probably one of the reasons why it didn’t work out between me and her.) This means that I would have to go for girls who are more in my range of popularity. When I talk to girls I can usually make them laugh and have a fairly good conversation with them, however the girls I joke around with the best are usually lesbians or bisexuals who are more into other girls. I just need to know how to tell if a girl likes me and how to talk to them in less of a friendly way and more of an intimate one without being creepy or anything like that. I also hate asking girls out as I have little experience in doing so and I feel like if a girl was to say no then it would just be really awkward between me and her. Any advice? Thanks.
