My best friend is stuck in a loop of loneliness.

This is the story of one of my best friends, whom I have known for the past 15 years. He's sick of his life, and everyone around him is sick of him as well. I have tried to help this guy for ages.

He is actually a very good-hearted guy. He is an introvert and hates to do anything outside of his comfort zone. As time passes, this good guy has just become a boring guy. He has nothing to bring to a conversation. With zero flirting skills, his conversations always lead to dead ends. So, he is just on his phone wherever he is. If he likes someone, he acts like a total gentleman but almost immediately gives off simping vibes. Even our own friends don't want to talk about him anymore.

I convinced him to come to the gym with me. Despite having impressive results, he just quit after a month. I tried giving straight facts to him in case he doesn't realize what he's doing. He acknowledges everything but continues as he was. With more than 121+ rejections, he said he has had enough. But he deeply longs for an intimate relationship, because we all do. I just wish I could help him somehow. I tried to help but nothing worked so I kept silent as well. Is there a thing I can do to help him?
