Continually Failing to Get Laid

This is my first post on here, I have finally gotten to a point where I just don't understand why I'm not getting laid and/or girls in general. I feel like I'm doing everything right... I have read countless articles on Girls Chase, listened to the whole Spellbound series multiple times (which has excellent advice BTW), feel like I have made progress but still fail to get laid time and time again... I think I'm a decent looking guy and in decent shape, I get called "cute" fairly often. I have a good job, a nice house, etc... And after a lot of trial and error, reading, and time, I've realized/learned that what I do to better my "value" has little impact on my success with women. I've almost completely stopped talking about myself (or giving much information about myself at all for that matter). I do a lot of "people watching" and think I have a pretty good handle on reading signs/signals from women, but still just can't seem to close ANYTHING.

A little bit about myself:
28 years old, 190 lbs, 5' 10", Caucasian
Was with 12 girls before getting married, married for 7 years, one girl post-divorce (visiting my home town), and one "call" girl that I'm not very proud of...
Found out (almost a year ago now) my ex-wife had two affairs during our marriage, divorce was finalized about 4 months ago...
Live in a suburb of a very big city (lots of competition)
Moved here about 6 years ago but was consumed by my ex so don't have many (any?) social circles here.. most people I know are married and I go out alone a lot
Have had around 5-10 "love" interests (more than a quick conversation) since maybe 5-6 months ago (has never ended up the way I would've liked)
Have a lot of anxiety (especially approach anxiety) in general, have lost a lot of self-confidence since the failed marriage, see a counselor once every two weeks, and take SSRI's
I have no clue how to dance so clubs are typically an automatic fail

My biggest issue is that I feel like I am doing everything RIGHT but still fail to close ALL the time. I just don't get it... I'm sure that part of my issue is too much emotion, another big one is that I know I'm very "boring" but can seem to hold a decent conversation most the time. Most of the time I get initial interest but then it expires before anything good happens.

Any advice/feedback would REALLY be appreciated!

Have you been actively trying to meet new girls (cold approaching, online, etc)? How many have you met to come to the conclusion that you "failing"?
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

I feel like I've actively been trying but I will admit, when I read about 11 cold approaches in a day, I'm nowhere near that. I average about 1 - 0.5 cold approaches per day. Most of the time it isn't completely cold either, for example, if I see a cute girl in the line at the grocery store, I'll go to that line, be social and not necessarily acknowledge her at first, then say something to her with a smile. She's usually receptive at first, then it goes nowhere. I have a hard time figuring out how to deep dive and put in less effort while getting her talking more, especially in a passive scenario like a grocery store. In places where I have an opportunity to have a long conversation without coming off as trying too hard, is when I have the best luck. But those are more few and far between and haven't ended up in my favor so far...

Anyway, to answer your questions, I've probably cold approached 50-100 girls by now and have had 0 luck online... I've never gone on one date with a girl I've met online, that always seems to be a dead end and so I've put less and less effort into online as time goes on.

Okay,
If your goal is "to get laid," then there's one way guarantee to work:
Approach 1000 girls.

I was 5'9", 135 lbs, and I really did approach 1000 girls. Get laid at around the 900th.
You probably will get laid much sooner.
