Nobody here has asked why you are looking to find dates in the first place.
Dating is not a solution to all your problems. In fact, I am single because I decided that being with someone causes more problems than it is worth. It's hard to appreciate the freedom of being single until you've gotten involved with someone and have to spend most of your time with her (or him). When you're single, you can choose what you want to do, when you want to do it. It's great to spend time with people when you want, and then come home to a quiet house at night where there is nobody to bother you when you want to be alone.
You'll have a sacrifice a lot. For example, if I were in a relationship, I wouldn't be able to save as much to start a business in a few years. I won't have as much time to devote to the business. I have time to devote to both computers and other hobbies, and I have the opportunity to spend time with a number of different people without being required to compromise on things I want to do. Now, if what some people are doing doesn't interest me, then I make plans with other people who are doing something that does. You have to deal with interpersonal problems and drama. You'll have to cut back on time with computers and video games, whether you want to or not. You'll have a lot of stress with dealing with constant rejections while trying to find someone. Some girls will even make plans and simply not show up, without even calling to cancel, even though you paid and drove a long way to be there.
In short, you should consider whether you really want to be involved in a relationship, or whether society is pressuring you to become involved in one. Ever since I ditched the dating scene, I've never been happier.
