It's very similar to how the best way to become unhappy is to try to be happy. Happiness is a side-effect of living a well balanced life. The harder you try to be happy, the more you displace the things that make you happy. It only comes when you aren't chasing it, but doing the things you find interesting and rewarding instead.

Lengthy romantic relationship dry spells aren't "the problem", but rather typically a symptom of other issues, and often issues that are exacerbated by putting sex and relationships on a pedestal.

The best thing you can do in order to find a romantic relationship is to just be a well functioning person that has their shit together. Have friends, have interests, get out of the apartment, do stuff with your life. Incel brainrot never got anyone laid.
