I am from Trinidad and Tobago, I’m into women, and I’m over 35 years old!!!

So, story time, I've been single since early this year and have been trying to ease my way back into the dating world. Now, if you know anything about my country (run a quick google, love, I’ll wait) we’re a tiny country, which makes finding someone here very difficult; so we rely on the apps!
My first tango was with Tinder (of course) where I did happen to meet a lovely woman (a few crazies down the road) but with whom there was no chemistry whatsoever, so that remained a platonic friendship. Then there was (is, cuz I’m still into her) the sister of an old college colleague who I happened to randomly be introduced to at a social event. Micro-stalked her socials and asked around in a few groups and deduced that she might be bi. Chatted her up, there was mutual flirting, regular messaging, then bam, she pulls away completely when I ask her out. Our messages dwindle down to barely anything and she stops responding in any way to any personal posts I make. So I step away and pop back in to tinder where, a few crazies later again, I meet someone who seems like I could jive with. Long story short, I was wrong. By now I’m quite frustrated, so I download a bunch of lgbtqia+ dating apps and joined a few chat groups as well. The first one I went into had an entry condition where you had to introduce yourself with some information. So I type in my ASP (Age, sexuality, pronouns because ASL is so 2001 ICQ ....ps if you don't know what ICQ is then you’re too young to be here) and the immediate response from some tween was “OMG you’re old enough to be my mom!” The nerve of that little shit. So I exited that one and checked another, same thing. I try one for 25+, most of them were under 30. So I was like you know what, fuck these new age apps, what’s the old school way lesbians found each other before the tinders and the bumbles of today’s generation? The way we’ve all met women before? TUMBLR!! So here I am. And if you’re in the same boat as me, share and add a thread with your ASP. And of course, if you’re interested, slide into my DMs.
