If you dont want to spend any money, free sites like OKCupid.com and PlentyofFish.com are good places to start, but these sites do have a lot of advertising. There are also free apps like Tinder (GoTinder.com) and Bumble.com, but these tend to be geared toward younger adults looking for casual “romance.”

Is friendship and companionship the same?

Companionship is that state of being friends, but it goes a deeper than even a friendship. It is a closeness or familiarity, a true fellowship among two people who for whatever reasons have truly connected. Companionship can come with or without a sexual aspect, but it goes much deeper than “friends with benefits.”
