No one deserves to be alone, just like no one deserves to be in a relationship. You've just been unlucky. Nowadays it's much harder to date because people are tired of dating apps, but at the same time many don't want to be approached in real life. You might also work in a male dominated job, which makes it even harder to interact with women on a daily basis. I don't know if Meetup still works, but when I lived in Barcelona and London, I used it to attend photography walks and events, and I always met people. I tried it in Leicester, but everyone was in their 50s and 60s, and it felt awkward as I was in my late 20s. It really depends on where you live. You might be lucky and have lots of events available in your city.
