I come from a different culture, but I can’t understand why I never have any success with the dates I’ve been on. Is there some ‘formula’ I’m not able to crack?

I am 26-year-old man living in Europe but originally from a country farther east, where the dating culture is different. I have never had sex with a woman. I am well-adjusted to my new home, speak the local language fluently and have great friends. My social life is normal, and while I am introverted, I have no problem in talking to women. But I can’t understand why I do not have much success in intimacy. I’ve asked women out on dates, but to little success. I’ve read many self-help books and blogs and watched YouTube channels to help me improve my appearance and self-confidence. I’ve worked on myself and my insecurities, but why is this so hard? Is there a “formula” that I’m not able to crack?
