Climbing indoors isn't the only way. And don't be nervous - you can choose climbs at different grades, starting off from things that are more or less like climbing up a staircase, so you have a lot of control over what you choose to do.
Easy indoor climbing tends to be steeper, with more obvious holds, and the holds on the whole tend to be more similar.
Easy outdoor climbing tends to be at fairly gentle angles, with lots more variety in how you can use the rocks, with ledges, bridging, jamming etc. You also get to be outdoors, enjoying nature!
Which you would prefer depends on why you want to get into climbing.
Also - have you done any scrambling at all?
I would agree with the suggestions of either a guide outdoors, an outdoor course, or trying a local club....
