Your whole approach is wrong, most guys don't befriend a girl to have that girl eventually become the girlfriend.
I got married using this approach.
OP, just buck up and start talking to girls, they're just like you, and a lot of them are pretty open minded if you are charming/cute/funny/rich/something redeeming.
There are meetup groups that does social activities not necessarily to meet partners but to just to go out spend time with people in general. Maybe expand your hobbies?
RIght, do you have guy friends? Or is this one of those situations where it's not so much that you're anxious with women, it's that you're anxious around people in general? If you don't have any friends at all, that's a whole other issue.
I am 25 and still don't know any girls as friends or acquaintances. How can I accept the fact I will never get a girlfriend or get married?
I am 25 year old male and I still don't have any female friends or acquaintances as I have too much anxiety to talk to any girl and can only talk to them if they talk to me first. The only girls I have been able to talk to are some tutors I have met and I already lost contact with them. It is clear I will never have female companionship even though I would like to which makes me sad. How can I make myself feel better
This is rather short on detail. Is there something you're not telling us? At 25, you would presumably be working, and meet girls at work, as a first step. In any case, you're going to have to do something about your anxiety. It would be good if you could just start forcing yourself to do things that make you anxious. Failing that, go read some books on the subject. Failing that, find yourself a therapist/counselor. I'm also going to guess that one reason you're anxious is because you feel you have nothing to say. If that's the case, then you also have to start working at keeping up with the world.
Well first of all, stop thinking that it will never happen. You're only 25, that's ridiculously young. As others have asked, do you not have female coworkers? Don't be so hard on yourself first of all, get some confidence, and don't look at women as if they're some kind of other species. They're people, too. You having anxiety about women is you putting too much ridiculous pressure in yourself.

Correct, that's detailed in "Ladder Theory," if OP cares. Waste of valuable time.
Genuinely curious how people get up in the morning with attitude like OP. What, do they think: "Another bright sunny day! Let's see how un-laid I can get today!" ...then carry on with obviously unsuccessful/Beta behaviors?
Step 1 is being open to possibilities, step 1a being "if opportunity does not present, create opportunities!" Always worked fine for me, and I'm no George Clooney. I am, however, presentable personable and successful. Which sort of all flowed together over the decades, deciding "not" to be a loser.

Maybe that's truly Step 1.
If you start off as friends first there is still a strong possibility you can get placed in the friend zone and be unable to get out
