Loneliness and depression *after* coming out?

This may sound odd, but has anyone else become much sadder after coming out? I came out to family and friends earlier this year, after coming to terms with it myself about two years ago (I'm in my mid-twenties). Before I came out, even though I was always sexually attracted exclusively to guys, I could only imagine myself with a woman. I had always wanted a really deep, romantic relationship, which I never had (unsurprisingly, since I was never attracted to any woman I met, and hence never made any moves).Ever since coming out, I've tried several dating apps (including Tinder and Grindr), and dated a few guys from that, but nothing's worked out. All the guys I've seen to whom I was really attracted weren't interested in me, and I haven't been interested in the guys who were interested in me. At this point, I can no longer imagine myself in a long-term loving relationship with a woman (duh), but I also can't imagine myself in that kind of relationship with a guy. I want a kind, loving boyfriend who's also my best friend, and with whom I can hang out, and with whom there's mutual chemistry, but I worry that the probability of finding another guy where all those things can happen is just nonexistent. At this point, I feel sad and isolated all the time. I just feel so lonely it hurts. And I've never felt this way before.Has anyone else experienced something like this? Does anyone have suggestions for things I could do to improve the situation?
