I'm curious, if I'm an absolute beginner start with cold approach? To specify, I'm 22, a virgin, only ever made out with a few random girls, been on a few dates, never been in anything remotely close to an LTR.

Part of me thinks I should play around with something like tinder for a while to get more comfortable having man to woman conversations with girls on dates where there's already been some pre selection on account of the fact that we've agreed to go on a date together. Might be easier to escalate and/or take things slowly that way. Another part of me thinks that I should just bite the bullet and go ham doing cold approach even though I'm going to get shit on and rejected left and right and know subconsciously that I have basically no experience.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you
