That is an excellent checklist, of your actions. That should amount to meeting thousands of people? I am sure there is a list of why you dropped all of them, or why they dropped you. Considering that above 50% of people you meat are mature enough for a relationship (actual research) readapt your criteria.

If the reasons are emotional on your part e.g. Dismissive or Disorganized(fearful) Attachment it will take you a couple of years. Look into Attachment styles on Personal Development School on youtube. It's like a cheatsheet/rabbithole for figuring how to make things work for you and others emotionally.

If you like people at the begining and then not so much, you might look into scaling up from therapist to psychiatrist for quicker results.

Choose someone you would like, be cautious of choosing someone who you think everybody else would like. Could you choose someone e.g. fat? Why not? What other social disproval criteria might have crept into your checklists?

It is streightforward but not always easy. Good Luck!
