All what you describe are the normal progressive steps of online dating when you hope to meet your soulmate and have expectations that are above average. Some give up and think these sites are a waste of time, some are lucky and find their perfect match right away, some have stopped believing it will lead to a serious relationship, but keep going. In the end, many will end up building a relationship, whether forever for quite some time in the same way they would if they had met their partner through other means. Some will continue dating for years and never get anywhere. It's up to you whether to keep going or give up, no-one can say what they outcome will be either way.0

I met my husband online but maybe your problem is the type of website? Some websites are more for quick hook ups than long term relationships. Ones where you pay and chat for a while before meeting might result in fewer matches but they might be of better 'quality'.
Do stuff in your life that makes you happy and don't force the issue . you might come across too eager without realising. I'd rather be single longer till the right one comes along than in and out of relationships all the time. A lot of its just timing and luck I think!0
