Tips on dating?

Sa

I’m currently 25. I moved 700/800 miles away from my hometown 9 months ago I’ve gone on a few dates one went back to his ex the other asked for sex after 3 weeks.. I moved to help care for my grandmother who is elderly and sick so I quit my job and go to school full time.. I gained some weight moving south and everyone from back home acts like they wanted me for years (annoying af, I used to get picked on a lot) my self confidence is reallllly low... I was in a toxic relationship before I moved... I haven’t had sex in a year and a half... and it makes me feel like I’m ugly or fat.. but I don’t like random hookups or someone who just wants sex or pressures me, I never have and after the last dude I went out with for 3 weeks who wanted sex I kind of quit. I don’t really know how to get back out there ladies any tips would be appreciated I’m not one to normally ask for help 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me on my birthday last week 🙏🏼
