Don't let anyone on the internet tell you what you are. It is impossible for them to definitively say because they don't know you. I can't tell you what you are or aren't based upon about 300 words. I promise you that you won't figure things out by reading online forums and trying to puzzle things out in your head. My only advice is to go out and meet people and see if anything happens. If nothing is happening then move on. You should feel attracted to them and you should start falling in love. Love is intense and you brain goes on a chemical trip— you'll know when it happens. It's a lot more than just thinking someone is nice and caring for them a lot. You don't need a label all figured out to start seeing someone, if you meet someone (man or woman) and there's chemistry that's all the answer you need really. You don't seem very impressed with the men at the moment, so ok try dating women? If it's not working for you then stop seeing them. Also, would it help to pick up some activities (after covid) like volunteering or hobbies where you meet people and can get to know them in a non-dating context? I find this easier than dating because there's less pressure and you get to know people a bit first.

This is very helpful, thank you! And yes, I have definitely decided that I am done with online dating for the time being regardless of my sexuality. That was not a good experience. I would prefer to meet someone in person and do make an effort to go out to activities and things, but have found this is a bad way to meet men because of the aforementioned everyone-assuming-I'm-a-lesbian problem. But being open to dating women solves that.
