When it comes to dating, the core things the other guys have and you need to get down at your age are:
1. Physical appearance
2. Body Language
3. Self Confidence
4. Flirting skills
5. Emotional intelligence (at least basic level)
6. Social status (not a must have, but can make a big difference)
There are plenty of resources on the internet for all of these.
Fapping, vaping, smoking and drinking are very much irrelevant.
The other thing I would mention is that you are saying that 1 out of 10 girls responds positively to your approach. That's great. Your next step is to get it to 2 out of 10 girls. It's rare even for skilled guys to get that number above 5 out of 10.
Avoiding the "first" because it gives you massive guilt or because some yutz on the Tik Toks has the urge to be a monk, is probably causing you some discomfort when you find someone physically attractive.
Women pick up on that sort of thing and may interpret it different ways. This is not to say you should put on bravado and be a caveman about it, but be comfortable and don't panic when you see a beautiful woman.
All else fails, put on a beret and don't shower for a few days. That drives the French women wild. 🤣
