I feel this. I ended up only using Hinge because the other apps made me more anxious. I was lucky to find my soulmate (ik it sounds corny) after a few months. But those first dates with random guys (that weren't successful) were tiring and it took a lot for me to just go and do it.
There is actually a book Calle, “Boundaries in Dating: How Healthy Choices Grow Healthy Relationships,” by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend. My therapist recommended it.
I think you really nailed the situation with many women--we start to mirror our significant other’s interests instead of our own. Having clear boundaries should prevent this.

It truly is so draining to date. So happy you found your soulmate!
