Im 34 alone, no friends,

The last friend I had was this girl who lived with me, we shared a lot in common and were always hanging out, she was deffo my best friend, we went to festivals and trips to places together.

One day I told her I had a crush on her and she told me she needed space and she'll reach out when she's ready to continue just as friends

She then didn't contact me for 3 months and one day when I walked past her open window I saw all her stuff had gone and she had moved out,

I then saw I was blocked on all social media.

2 years friendship wasted and now I have no self confidence approaching girls in RL so safer online. But I literally go months without talking to anyone, no girls ever DM me and matches are rare to come by on dating apps and then they do I get ghosted after a while.

I swear I'm not a bad looking guy, I have done modeling before, I work a nice chilled job and am looking for that one special introverted person like myself

Have you considered joining clubs that are part of your interests, where you could meet like minded people that you'd connect with?

Online dating apps aren't the best especially if you don't have the right pictures, or your bio doesn't connect with women. The algorithms can also go against you if you're swiping too much, location etc.

I'm sorry your friend just bailed like that after a two year friendship. She probably just felt uncomfortable, and thought it would be weird if she stayed there when she doesn't reciprocate your feelings. It will definitely have knock on your self confidence.

The way forward would be to work on that though. With the right mindset and attitude, you can meet people, and make friends even as an introvert.
