How do I make myself seem interesting, if I join a dating site?

Since being single for a year, and a few years before the divorce, I lost hope and became a recluse...more like a semi-recluse because I had to shop for food, and go to medical appointments.

This last year, losing so much in my life, I was severely depressed, and wanted to be alone, despite feeling very lonely. So if I want to start dating now (and I'm still reluctant and unsure that I do), how do I make myself worth knowing when I've been living like a hermit for a while?

I want to be authentic, but I don't think "older reclusive female, suffering from depression, but would like to meet friends for shared interests," is going to cut it. Oh yeah, last date was more than 27-years ago. 😏

I think it's difficult because you'd be surprised (or maybe not) about how men may interpret things very differently to how you'd want them to. I'm not decrying dating sites but if you're after shared interests, you could join a club or society of your interest and see what comes from that.
