Dad [55m] keeps shaming me for not having a gf. Im [25m]

Non-Romantic

My dad will embarass the hell out of me infront of others by saying things like "I wish Jeremy paid less attention to his computer and more attention to girls". I tried explaining to him that things are different than when he was a young man. I told him girls do not appreciate being approached and its creepy to do so. And I also cant hit on girls at work because then I would be fired. I explained to him that I tried online dating and got 0 replies in a 2 week span. When he was young it seemed to be a lot easier based on what he told me. I dont appreciate being degraded for something that I wish was different but I have no power to change. The last time I tried flirting with a girl was at a club. Her and her friends burst out laughing when I tried dancing next to her. Then they moved to the other side of the dancefloor. Why try if I will be mocked and humiliated or labeled a creep or sexual harasser?

tl;dr: dad keeps nagging me about not having a gf. Sometimes he will publicly embarass me infront of others for it. It makes me feel like shit. How do I stop him?
