How to find someone

I’ve been single my whole life with a few like on and offs but never gotten into a relationship (I’m 17) and I’ve stated to kinda crave a relationship(does that make sense?) but there are NO gay guys in my area that aren’t my friends that I wouldn’t date bc one has a boyfriend and the other and I are like fwb but not into eachother. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK SOMEONE OUT💔💔 how can I find someone, any tips?? I even googled to no help 💔💔
