Dating apps for a hopeless romantic: a futile quest?

...See more Hello! I’m a hopeless romantic, grew-up-in-conservative-household biromantic lesbian (at least that’s the label that fits me best right now, but I’m still young, so it’ll probably adjust as I grow). I live at a university that’s still very conservative in policy. And I have zero ability to determine whether someone is gay just based on looks or vibe or whatever: when a friend comes out to me it’s always a surprise. This combo is problematic when it comes to finding a girlfriend, as I would very much like to. My desire to - for lack of a better word - woo a girl, or court her and befriend her before maybe taking it further, makes me shy away from dating apps that seem too sex-based. But it’s always risky to ask a girl out in person at my university, because again: the All-Seeing Conservative Policy forbids such heinous actions. Does anyone have dating app recommendations? I know about Tinder but that’s pretty much it - and from my understanding, that’s definitely falling into the hook up category. If I don’t get any suggestions, I’ll go with plan B of dropping bucketloads of hints until maybe another girl is braver than me and asks me out instead 😂 Thank you for reading :)
