People who I see LOOKING for a mate, always come off as desperate and rarely seem to find one. People who simply get on with life generally from what I see have a better "Success" rate, and generally seem happier overall. My advice is to stop looking, and simply make lots of friends. If you are generally a nice person, there is a strong chance you will encounter a women (or man) who you have feelings for, and happens to share them. When it grows naturally it always seems healthier to me.
DISCLAIMER: I am Asexual, and hence probably the worst person in the universe you could get advice from.
