Try to find some hobbies or something. If nothing comes to mind as sounding like a fun hobby then try random things to see how you like them. Go to the driving range and hit a bucket of golf balls (you can rent clubs), if there is a race track near by check out the drag races (usually a ton of people your age are at the street legal drags), jogging, try things you wouldnt normally do just to see if you like them. Once you find some stuff that is kind of fun, start doing it once or twice a week. You will find, that if nothing else it will make the lame boring days go by more quickly when you are looking forward to that day you get to do whatever.

Once you have a couple hobbies it will be easier to find friends. You may find people you know while you are doing the hoby or you may meet new people just because you see them there every week. Also, in your everyday life when you meet people you will have a little more to talk about. When you find someone you have something in common with you can invite them to join you some time. It can be hard to meet people when there isnt really anything you like doing just because you come off as being boring.

The key is to just find some stuff you enjoy doing to get you through the week. The rest will work itself out once you can be a little happier with yourself. Also, dont feel strange about not having had a gf by 18, I know it seems like you are weird or something but it really isnt uncommon.

Have you ever sought any treatment for your depression? Everyone I know who has ever done that whished they had done it sooner.

Good luck and keep checking back. The people here give great advice.
