You just have to take the risk, plain and simple.
When your loneliness becomes so unbearable that you think you have nothing to lose and it's worth the risk, that's probably when you'll find the courage to make a move.
Believe me, as a LateBloomer, I understand what you're feeling.
I lacked confidence for most of my life and still have my doubts (don't we all?).
Your situation is nothing unique. Everybody knows how it feels, some are just better at dealing with the risk (which is mostly all imagined).
Just take some small risks right off the bat. One date is NOT marriage.
Good luck.
