You're good dude, I only started dating this year and I'm well into my 30s. It's never too late

Before I came out, I was absolutely convinced that family would never accept me. I was raised in an extremely conservative Christian household and my family still is. My parents struggled a fair bit to accept it but now a year later, they're pretty good about name and pronouns. My mom was faster than my dad who didn't really talk to me for a few months after. Extended family was so much better than expected as well and only my grandfather has rejected me, which my dad will never do anything about. He keeps to himself about any anti-trans feelings he has and I know he doesn't fully accept it but that's still a much better outcome than I ever expected.
Sometimes things go better than we fear. I suppressed for almost 10 years because of fears of familial rejection but there comes a point that we just can't deny ourselves anymore. I hope you're able to transition and keep everything you want but sometimes the pain of not being able to be ourselves is too much no matter how hard we try.
Might be something weird on your end? Looks fine to me
I've met people only online so far as well. Dating apps can lead to actual dates sometimes lol. There are also always local meet up groups whether for particular interests or just for general singles. For example, I went to a local LGBT meetup group recently and it seems like the kind of thing where relationships can develop organically from the friends I hope to make there. Taking a perspective of friends first can help with dating prospects too imo
