I’m 34. Is it time to get rid of these beautiful formal dresses and shoes in my closet, so someone else that will use them can use them?

I’m starting to think I’ll never get married. I’m 34 and I’ve been in love four times, half of whom I never dated. Three had Asperger’s that was more severe than mine, which stopped us from dating. One only was seeking fun. Then throughout all of my recent attempts at dating, all the guys were married, seeking a mistress or they didn’t want to work. Or they just wanted sex. When other people find a partner, it works out, but every time I get really interested or even mildly interested in someone, one of these things always, always happens. It’s like God doesn’t want me to find someone. That or karma, which I don’t believe in. I’m not complaining, I’m just being honest. So I was wondering if all my most beautiful formal dresses are a waste for me. That maybe I’m not meant to have a partner, maybe I should give up permanently and just make sure my beautiful formal dresses and shoes aren’t wasted by giving them to a fancy secondhand store where someone with better luck can use them? This is a real question. Sounds like whining, but I’m actually ok being single. I’m just telling it as I see it.
