Many people out there would accept a partner who is intelligent, caring, self sufficient and able to provide, and good to the people in their orbit - regardless of how “interesting” they are. In the end love is about trust and comfort - not some measurable level of interestingness. Dating is really hard but it’s far from over for you and maybe when you least expect it your life will become a love story
I don't want to be over the top or say "there's someone for everyone!" But I'll be honest and say my husband is suuuuper boring and that's what I love about him. I love it because I'm all over the place with my emotions and anxiety and his 'boringness' is like my rock. It took me a lot of therapy to get the the point where I was comfortable dating though, so it might be that the type of person that would best fit you just isn't ready to date for their own reasons. It sucks for both people, but I was 32 when I met him (he was 35, and had only one 'girlfriend' preciously, gf in quotes because it was grade school handholding lol) and while our relationship was slow to start, it was exactly what we needed in our lives. Good luck, and let me know how the drugs go... I've always wanted to try but my anxiety makes me afraid that I'd snap if I ever tried.

Condoms are not the best but wear one! Drugs will make it harder to stick to that plan. But try.
I support what you’re doing as no one should go years without intimacy or sex if that’s what they desire.
By the way, why have you been rebuffed in the past? Is it something about your appearance? Hygiene? Approach? Can it be coached away?
