TITLE: Me (26) looking to start dating again...
POST: I've taken a long hiatus from dating while in college because I was too focused on not failing and succeeding to really put much energy into anything else...I sound like a massive nerd I know...In college there was interest in me but ever since I graduated the interest just doesn't seem there anymore. I asked one girl on a date and she flat out said no, then me and this other girl started hanging out, then asked her on a date, and she said yes....but then got back together with her ex bf...so its been a crappy roller coaster for me so far.

I also dont know where to meet girls now..or how to really break the ice...

I also have friends who are basically sharks and do whatever they can do get the girl..and Im just kinda left standing there like an idiot...

How can I conquer these issues and whats the best way?
TL;DR: 
Havent dont a lot of dating because of college; Confidence isnt where it should be so cant break the ice.
