You have fallen into a trap by worrying about a totally pointless and meaningless conflict concocted by a minority but influential fringe-Christian lobby for its own reasons. Reasons I think go beyond mere theology.
Fossils do not "disapprove" of anything; nor themselves disprove anyhting. It's what they show that counts. They help prove natural time and events - set going by God, so Christians believe - are far greater, grander and more beautiful than the unknown writer of the Book of Genesis could have imagined.
Beliveing in God does NOT demand taking everything in the Old Testament so literally.
Its books were written by tribal priest-kings and prophets to convey a particular message to their own society that genuinely could not comprehend how natural processes work. No-one could, some 4 millennia BCE.
The writer clearly also missed the obvious, very unpleasant as well as absurd result of taking literally, the Adam and Eve and later Noah, myths.
I wonder if these stories were written as part of a sort of "Year 0" policy to help their followers reject and forget their pre-Abrahamic ancestry, whose main religion was the Persian, Zoroastrianism. Together, these books, written over the several centuries BCE, show the Ancient Hebrew leaders were trying to weld their disparate, semi-nomadic tribes into a cohesive society, and their most effective way was to devise a monotheist faith that suited their people. It likely drew on much older beliefs while conveniently forgetting the origins.
There is no reason you cannot believe in a God credited with creating everything natural while also learning what He did and how.
Religion simply says "God did it". Not when, not how. Not even why, really, other than God wanting Something To Do.
The natural sciences - astronomy, geology, palaeontology, biology - seek to understand how and when it happened. Not by whom (these sciences are anyway international, bridging all faiths and none). Not why. No-one can say "why"!
Indeed, even without believing in the Judaeo / Christian / Muslim god called "God", I regard those who take the Book of Genesis, the Flood story, etc. literally, in the light of modern knowledge, as unwittingly demeaning the very Deity they think they are defending, and denying vast swathes of His works.

As for your love life, I am afraid the most believing in God can do there is give you some sort of emotional support - which is one reason religions exist.
