A very intense one. First unconditional love.

Denden, sorry for your pain. I would offer up to that there is no such thing as unconditional love. All relationships have conditions.
I had one that messed me up really bad for a while once. In the first 3-6 months I kept to myself outside of work. I see you like hiking. I was hiking a lot in those days because it is an alone activity
Somewhere around month 7 I started dating. I made really sure to go really slow and not jump into a committed relationship even if I like the woman I was dating. I needed to be ok emotionally before doing that. That lasted until about month 18. If you do that and get pressed the accurate answer is you are not ready for commitment at this time.
Your different variables are COVID and swipe dating both which has probably changed dating forever. I am have not experienced either of those and don't feel to offer ideas without that qualifier in but at least spend a few months with your hiking and other lone hobbies. That is a good first step if nothing else.
Best of luck
