Feeling discouraged with dating and questioning if I’m doing the right things

30M, I’ve been in one long term relationship that reached its stop point after 1.5 years a few years ago. Since then, I’ve not had alot of success with dating outside of dates and a few short term relationships. Based on my religious and cultural background, the dating pool is definitely more narrow, but I’m not sure where I keep missing the mark. I feel like a fairly sociable person and introverted, I really like getting to know people on a deeper level and in the dating that’s progressed to beyond at least 6 weeks, I like to ask deeper questions of girls because I want to know the real version of them and I try to be open too and share some of my vulnerabilities. I’m emotionally available, my friends say I’m kind and empathetic, I have a relatively successful career, have hobbies and would like to think I’m easy to get along with most of the time. I started seeing a therapist like a year ago because I do have anxiety and it’s helped alot and learning more about myself in relationship situations, I’ve just been questioning if it’s something about me that I need to adjust or I simply haven’t found the right person yet. After another thing just not working out, I’m feeling discouraged and am trying to reflect more on what I can do
