Hi.
I am in a very similar position to you though maybe a few more years down the line.
My ex and I separated nearly four years ago.
I was very resistant to any form of internet dating to start with and my first relationship happened to be someone I met in real life but after a few false starts where it weirded me out am glad I did. Also frankly at the moment the chances of meeting someone in real life are pretty low!
Have met a couple of guys where we really clicked and dated for a while, some interesting but not my cup of tea guys, some who I wasn’t their cup of tea, some people who shared very particular preferences right off the bat(!) and messaged with one person at least who I very seriously doubt was who they said they were!
That said I didn’t really appreciate how different it is and how upsetting some people’s behaviour can be - I’m sure I’ve inadvertently hurt people also. It’s a strange construct.
I don’t really know anyone else in the same position as all my friends are still married so if yould like to chat about it with someone else living it feel free to PM me - always good to laugh about with someone!
Good luck!
(I did Hinge and Happn and preferred Hinge.)
