I cannot believe that I'm responding to this. When I was in my 20's and 30's (during single periods) I dated a lot of women. It was not uncommon to have two dates in one day with two different women. There were weekends where I would have 3-4 dates with 2-3 different women. I had a good job where I made decent money, and I had my weekends free, so playing was no problem for me. I enjoyed many years of many, many amazing women, and I would not undo my former dating adventures, though perhaps I would modify some of my past behaviors. I'm not sure what advice to give you, but I can say for sure that self-confidence is the key ingredient in meeting, shmoozing, and dating women. Women sense a man's self-confidence level almost immediately, and they make instantaneous appraisals in most cases. A guy with a great sense of humor is also a major turn-on for lots of women. There is nothing wrong with crafting a few well rehearsed ice-breakers to start a conversation with a woman - style and delivery are very important. They should seem natural, and should accurately reflect your intelligence, confidence, and senses of humor and good timing. Practice, practice, practice. Women are not something to be afraid of, and should be sought like a precious and perishable thing. Be romantic. Listen. Make eye contact, and for crying out loud... relax.
Go on all the dates you can afford with your time and resources. You're young - have fun. Maybe read a book on improving your self-image, and maybe also read a book on self-confidence strategies. BTW, the rule on calling/contacting a woman you are interested in is... Call her if you want to - Don't if you don't want to. Play it by ear. Good luck man. I wish I could be your wingman, or a fly on the wall, but your date would ask who the sexy old dude was and you'd be out one more lady.
