I don't know how to word this but here goes.

I'm 19 years old and and in the past 10 or so years friends and family have come and gone very quickly (I don't have any friends at the moment). I don't know what to do. I get lonely very easily and I would like to get a girlfriend. I also don't want one because it can be quite expensive if it's the wrong person. How do I look for a perfect companion to the MGTOW (<-- my standard)standard? If not a girlfriend what could fill that space (i don't feel empty) it's just someone to share a close and very personal bond with. Sex is not really on my mind at all for this, should it be?

Edit: sorry for the formatting I'm on mobile.
