Nah, you're probably not really doing anything wrong. It sure as hell is going to feel like you're doing something wrong if you dwell on what is 'wrong' with you constantly. When things don't work out just keep rolling with the punches and don't take that stuff very seriously, it will definitely help you remain sane.
But yes, very much take heed of what everyone has said so far about trying to rush into something as soon as you start talking to girls here. I kinda hate to say it but every girl I've gotten to know here so far has shared with me their experiences with thirsty guys being weirdos. By no means do you want to be another guy featured in a cringe story. :u
When you feel distressed enough to make a thread like this just take a deep breath and evaluate things. I'm pretty sure someone already mentioned it but really search your soul regarding this question: "do you really want a relationship or are you just in love with the idea of one?". Everything will become a lot easier if you just relax and stop taking finding someone seriously, just get to know people and don't try too hard. I mean honestly Life is Strange™ you'll just randomly bump into people that you completely hit it off with in the first conversation from time to time. When there's a mutual interest like that just make your intentions known but don't push things too hard or get too focused on trying to do something with that person, just let things flow naturally and you'll be fine. Nothing worthwhile in life comes fast or easy.

^Lol exactly... pretty much every girl I'm friends with on this site has told me that dudes constantly are trying to rush things, or else they think a handful of replies somehow means they're interested xD

Let's try to get some clarity here..
The OP is referring to the girls he's tried talking to on dating sites not reciprocating his advances. He's not asking what to do once he's found a connection. He's not asking what the next step is. He's asking why his attempts at making the initial connection never works out.
He's saying he's NOT EVEN ABLE TO GET A RESPONSE. If a dude can't even get a response, someone tell me why TF he's being told to ask girls to meet irl. Let's also go tell the fisherman with an idle bobber to reel in his line xD
So... it's time to round all our thoughts back to an initial point: Stop rushing things.
Idk about other sites, but what we have on this site is a perpetual sausage party. And any girl that does show up, it's like blood in the water. Wanna know how to get thrown in the back seat quickly, or worse yet, kicked out of the moving car? Just rush things, like what the other 20 dudes are doing to the same girl. It comes across as desperate.
But don't take my advice. Listen to what the girls themselves are saying about it.

I usually suggest finding women in the real world is because there isn't that blood in the water perpetual sausage party dynamic that's prevalent on dating sites. It's just more natural that way with the rapport, body language, voice, eye contact, etc. Dating sites should be supplementary. On dating sites, a low response rate is normal for guys - even if they're doing everything right. It's a numbers game. You throw your hat in the ring and if she doesn't say "fuck yes", then you move on to somebody who will. Why waste valuable time on a lukewarm or fickle person? Men are programmed to be the hunters through many years of evolution - along with some degree of desperation.

Yeah, dont take my advice either, do what works. Ya know, since I'm obviously just talking outta my ass.
OP,
Really though, take everything said here with a GIANT grain of salt and just use common sense...whatever that is. You're best bet is always just starting up a conversation with those around you, but best of luck on your venture. The internet is just a tool in your arsenal.
