How to not be disheartened by modern dating (especially) during COVID 19?

I’ve (26m) been single for a few months and finally decided to try and “get back out there”. I forgot how fake and cold tinder feels. I’ve never had any success with it. Just a handful of bad dates. All the bars are shut so its hard to go out just to meet people, even when they are open again it wont be an ideal environment. Both of my room mates have been dating constantly the past few weeks since lockdown eased here. They are having at least one new date a week. I found out my ex is dating again too. Feeling totally frustrated. I really wish I could just go out one night and talk to people in person. My confidence is varying from really high to very low. I’m in the best shape i’v ever been but obviously the breakup and lack of social activities due to covid has got me feeling down at times. Iv fell into a dating rut before. I spent 3ish years without dating anyone after another breakup. I had a handful of first dates and a handful of one night stands. I don’t want to fall into that again. Maybe it’s just who i am? I am very selective with whom i’d want to actually ask out. It’s was january since the last time i was physically involved with anyone and i’m definitely craving this connection again but i don’t even know if i’m in the right headspace to date someone? All of this just feels a bit soul destroying and really frustrating. Anyone have any advice or can relate?
