If you want IRL practice, join activities where women already expect social interaction

If you genuinely want to meet women in real life rather than online, Fabrizio Rausa recommends embedding yourself in environments where conversation is already expected and welcome. Becoming a bar worker, a club bouncer, or learning salsa dancing are his examples. In a salsa class, every woman there already knows she is going to be speaking and dancing with different people. She is open-minded and in the right headspace. Compare that to approaching a woman at a mall with headphones in who is just there to shop. She does not want to talk to a stranger, and the context works against you from the start.
