Sapphic dating

I just moved to the Portland, OR area a year ago. And it’s one of the gayest cities. I just got back into dating but I’m having such a hard time. Girls have admitted to me that they didn’t approach me first because they think I’m straight. But I’m on hinge and I’ve matched with people and even were texting but a lot of people on dating apps are avoidant. I’m secure and I tend to go anxious with that. I’ve meet up with a couple of people but they aren’t usually my type and I decided to give a chance. But I’m femme for femme and a romantic. I’m a lover girl in a nonchalant world
