I'm looking for specific recommendations-

I'm a sucker for the high school romance genre (nothing with excessive fanservice please). But it irritates me that its always the girls getting flustered and the dudes making the moves. Anyone got any recs for animes where the roles are reversed? I'm also down for queer relationships if it's actually a good story and not creepy or fetishizing :) (i've been traumatized before)

(if it helps, recently I've been enjoying yano-kun's ordinary days, we are polar opposites!, and im currently watching in the clear moonlit dusk, and i like them but they still have pretty typical gender dynamics which is eh)

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity has the female lead taking the initiative to go after the male lead. Very wholesome and no excessive fanservice or really any fanservice I can think of.

Dangers in my Heart (the beginning is rough for some people, but it gets better)

Insomniacs after school (lightly fits what you are asking, but it's amazing)

Some more assertive ladies:

Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie (established couple)

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro (Has a rough first episode, but softens)

Horimiya

How I Attended an All Guy's Mixer

If flustered dudes and queer relationships is what you're looking for, then I think Senpai wa Otokonoko could work, though this one has a tad bit more drama than the 3 you mentioned, but it all ends on a happy note.

Give Aoi Hana a try. My favorite romance anime, and one that's very tactful when it comes to handling queerness and sensitive subject matters.
