So I am 22 (just turned on the 8th) and I haven't been able to go on dates, and it's not so much lack of want it's lack of good people to consider dating, I want to go out and see these people but I also have a huge fear of dating a less than favorable character who will hurt me, and I have a bit of fear of people and I haven't the faintest of what to do anymore. How do I go about dating and seeing others and having the fun I should be having but with out needing a car or money? I have no driver license due to medical issues and no money for those reasons too. Any advice would be loved...

Try group dates. A few friends and a date that get together and have fun. You can be 'rescued' by your friends if the person ends up not being quite right for you.
Also--go enjoy activities you like doing, then if someone catches your eye you know you have something in common and can build from there. Start as friends, then work up.

If all else fails, you can sign up on a dating website and say that you are looking for friends. Then you can meet people without the added pressure. If something clicks, then awesome! Two of my friends have met their SOs this way!

Sounds like you need to build up some confidence. I'm working on that right now as well! Go out and do things that you like with a friend or by yourself. Go out dancing, go to local fairs/malls/hangouts, go join a gym or yoga classes.
Start off with smiling at people, then saying hello and then talking to people. Give yourself compliments everyday and tell yourself you will be successful even if you only improve by 2% that is a worthy step.

I agree with the people above...try group dates with your friends...also, look online and see if you can find free events put on by the city/other organizations, like concerts, farmers markets,etc.
