I don't want to, but i feel like giving up

I'm finding myself resenting the whole concept of dating and everything it stands for. From people beating me over the head with advice that doesn't seem to work, to watching male friends pull dates out of their ass every weekend, to being relegated to a worthless friend that gives male perspective (yes i feel its a worthless role in life). It seems no matter what little changes i try to make from being more assertive, to being more outgoing its just not working. I'm tired of seeing dates be earned off minimal effort, yet i feel like i have to jump through hoops of fire just to get a simple hello. And, if i manage to get past hello, and actually ask a woman out on a date, i get the whole im busy bullshit, or she decides to cancel on me without telling me. Then if I do get a date I'm having my time and money wasted because i find out later she's not interested in me.

More and more i'm finding out that its not meant for me to be dating anyone. guess i got too many things wrong with me and theyre all my fault.
