How do I feel excited by dating again?

I used to meet people in real life and it was exciting, we met at a regular group or club or event, then you feel giddy seeing them for the first time, you chat, you hope to see them again, you see them, you spend time alone together, and something very natural blossoms from it.

It doesn’t feel like that anymore. Now it feels like I don’t have the excitement or energy for dating. I want to be excited like genuinely want to feel that again. But I can’t I feel like I’m now geared towards being guarded and having to think everything over. For context I’ve been using a lot of online dating over the last year. My ex was from hinge, and my latest fling was from hinge too.
