You're not unwanted. And you're not Columbus. You're an undiscovered New World.
Only you know when you're ready to date and for what reasons. Be clear on them for yourself and then do what keeps you strong and what challenges you to grow in a good way. Again, only you know when that is.
I'm an advocate of waiting, but then I am by nature someone who eases into things.
So focus on getting strong and living out of your strength. If you're dating to prove something to anyone, even yourself, I'd suggest you think on that a bit.
