How do I deal with dating and social anxiety?

I’m 32, I’ve never really dated, and I have a lot of anxiety in social situations. I would like to find a woman to date, and have a romantic relationship with, but at my age, most women are pretty experienced, and I am not. I’m uncomfortable with this, and generally uncomfortable in my own skin.

How can I go about dating at my age when I’ve not done it before and I have so much anxiety?

At what point does dating become a mental problem rather that a social one?

99% of my serious questions can go in Singles & Dating or here. They are nearly one and the same.
To further explain, almost all of my emotions connected to dating are fueled by anxiety. They have always been linked. It is not unlikely I could have a panic attack.
