I'm sorry I haven't been around much outside of posting in my sitch. I'm trying to catch up now.
I saw the stuff about you getting responses on a dating app. That's good that you are getting some folks reaching out to you. I do want to warn you that (based on what I hear) women on dating apps get BOMBARDED with winks/messages/other things. And you are correct that many are looking for a hook-up. I would make sure that you define what you want when you dip your toes back into the dating pool. Set boundaries and stick to them. Yes it's going to be difficult to enforce them and it's going to be just as difficult for the men to truly grasp your requirements and expectations. Just play it by ear and take it slow (which I still have no idea how to do).
