Moving Out

So Im starting to seriously think about moving out. Im 23, its time.
I really want to find a place I can settle in and call home but at the same time I know I'll get lonely and probably become a social hermit if I lived alone. Which means I'll need a roommate for company and therefore hopefully afford a nicer place too.
How do you go about finding a housemate, let alone one who you get on with/can at least tolerate? Im very independent and like to do my own thing, Im just worried I wont really see the place as home, more like somewhere I share if that makes sense?
Any words of wisdom, or sites to start looking?

Or move out on my own first, see how it goes and get a roommate after if it gets lonely?
Well done on making the brave decision of moving out! It can seem scary to leave the family home - especially as you've left it a little later than many, but it hopefully won't take you long to get settled into a new environment.
There's a useful section on TheSite called Your Place and another all about renting - hopefully some of the articles in there will be helpful for you.
