I'm 24 with no experience and I feel really awkward about it

I'm 24F and have absolutely no dating experience. I'm at the point where I really want to date, but I feel awkward starting where I'm at. Everyone else I know my age has experience with relationships and I don't have anything beyond a peck on the lips back in high school. I don't want embarrass myself by jumping in the dating pool and having to either admit how inexperienced I am, or have people think I'm just really bad at everything. I'm frankly tempted to just meet up with a stranger or something and get everything over with so at least I'm not completely inexperienced. Has anyone else been in this boat? What did you do?
