I’m a straight woman who for whatever reason seems to date a lot of men who have never had a girlfriend before (as I get older it is happening less for obvious reasons) - but these include two men who had never been kissed in their mid-30s. I tend to mostly date “rationalist” type guys.
The other advice given here is useful as general advice, but I would advise you to ask for specific advice/feedback about yourself / your dating profile / etc. I’m happy to provide that if you want it, but an appropriate subreddit or facebook group would likely be better.
You say you spend a lot of time on dating apps “to no avail”—where are you getting blocked? Are you getting no matches? Are you getting matches but the conversations don’t lead to dates? Are you going on first dates but not getting second dates?
Getting no matches implies your standards might be too high or your profile/photos might suck.
No conversations implies that you might not be engaging women effectively or you might be engaging effectively but not want to seem pushy by asking for a date.
First dates but no second dates might imply anything from you smell bad to you come across weirdly to you’re just not going on enough of them.
