27M asking for genuine advice, the pressure of arranged marriage is terrifying me & lots of failed talking stage

ik this space is primarily for nepali girls, so I really hope it’s okay for a guy to drop in & ask for some pov, honestly I just need some advice from the other side because I feel like im hitting a wall & im starting to panic.

im 27 and the pressure of an arranged marriage is starting to loom over me heavily, to be completely honest, it scares the hell out of me, I really want to find my own partner & build a connection naturally but I am failing miserably at it, just to give you an idea of what my life looks like rn:

I work a standard full time job and whatever free time I have during the week goes straight into working on my side hustle and weekends I usually just pack my tiny bag and go on solo hikes to random places around ktm, I love it but it's not exactly a great way to meet people and my social life basically non existent, i guess because I have exactly 0 friends outside of a small group of colleagues who I only hangout during office hours and not so active person on instagram, its literally a ghost town. I have about 70/71 following 😑 and my dating life, damn i've had a lot of failed talking stages, start chatting but I can't seem to get past that initial phase to build something real. I'm not trying to throw a pity party. I just genuinely don't know how to fix this, my life is essentially just work, side hustles and walking alone in the woods.

from a girl's perspective, what should a guy in my position actually do? how do I become more approachable or get better at the talking stage when my lifestyle is this isolated?

I am completely open to harsh truths or constructive criticism. I just really need some POV before the arranged marriage talks become unavoidable 😑
