1. How long has your longest relationship been and who was it with?
2. What are 5 important things to know about that relationship?
3. Was that relationship always satisfying and loving?
4. What personal values did that person show through their actions in the relationship?

Maybe your answers can help you find what you are looking for since it doesn't seem that you are finding what you had hoped in the dating world.

For what it's worth, I've found much higher quality people to connect with by enjoying my life offline than I ever did online.
THIS. Your last sentence is precisely what I've decided to pursue! Screw online dating. I am done.... I've had both positive and negative experiences with online dating, and mostly negative. So I WILL this year, focus on creating better and healthier connections IRL.

That will be my goal!
