Dating

I’m 27 and a female… the last date I had was 3 years ago. I had a long term relationship from 19-23.. we broke up because he was a mommas boy and had no ambition and was not looking to better himself and also drank a lot I’ve never really dated or been the kind to talk to multiple guys. How can I start dating again and how difficult has it been for other females? I’ve used the apps and I hate it the way some men approach you is awful.. maybe I’m old school or an old soul and this generation is just too wild for me
