How should I go about meeting people online when I have anxiety

Okay so I’m (F18) terrible at talking to people over text and I don’t answer for hours because I’m really not a phone person unless I’m on Reddit. My other social media accounts I haven’t been on for months. often I don’t even notice if I get notifications. I barely even text my best friends back in a reasonable time, but with strangers I just feel socially anxious and don’t like to text them at all.

I’ve always been the type of girl that doesn’t want to date someone unless I meet them in person first, because for me it’s easier to talk to the person when I’m looking at their facial expressions. but lately because of COVID I haven’t been able to meet anyone. I mean I literally haven’t been out of the house much for over a year.

I have profiles on dating apps because of that, but whenever I match with someone attractive with a good personality I basically end up ghosting them because of my stupid anxiety and me not knowing how to carry the convo over text.

Does anyone have a similar experience or any advice? I’m not sure what they expect me to really say. And the app literally makes me text first on Bumble whenever I match with a guy, since I’m the female.
