I know that I've been there myself back in the days, but it seems weird to me that you think there is any difference at all. Talk to a man and get to know him just as you would with a woman. The only difference is that you keep sex out of the picture. Be just as interested in him as you are in her and her female friends. With other words, give everyone equal amounts of attention and don't focus on one person.
Now you maybe think "of course there is a difference, I'm not attracted to dudes". If you do, it is just because you still need to work on your "attitude of abundance", "buyer's frame" or whatever you want to call it. The girl should be nothing special to you in the beginning, and you should put up some standards what you are looking for in a woman. It is her task to show you that she qualifies and meet your standards. You can push it by asking questions about her with an attitude like "who are you? are you good enough for me?". If she doesn't qualify, don't hesitate to move on to another girl.
