I was not prepared for this 😭

It’s been around 4-5 months since I realized I like women and I swear my brain has been on a software update ever since💀
I downloaded dating apps to see what happens and then realise I have no idea how to talk to women.
With men I never really had to think about all of this… things just happened naturally. But now I’m like, am I supposed to send the first like? Msg first? Say hi? Compliment her? I genuinely have no clue 🫠 I honestly thought figuring out I like women was gonna be the hard part. Turns out talking to one is** **🥹🥹
Also why are all the women around my age either giving fake profile vibes or nowhere to be found ..All the likes I get are from 20-22 year olds and my 28 year old brain just goes ‘no babe u can’t 😂😂
I swear this is the first time in my life I’ve had to put actual effort into this and suddenly I’m understanding a few things 😁

So how do you all do it? Any advice for someone who’s completely new to this side of dating?
