(23M) just got out of a 5 year relationship with a girl I met a week after I graduated high school. How to start meeting new people?

Hello all, as the title says I recently split up with with my long time girlfriend. I dated around a little bit in high school until I met my ex shortly after graduation, point being, she’s all I’ve known in terms of women/dating. I’m at the point where I’d like to make some new friends. Here are my issues: 1- I’m not necessarily looking for sex (that will come with time but I’m not trying to build a relationship starting there); 2- I looked into dating apps, only to realize I actually have 0 pictures of myself, and selfies are lame; 3- if it’s even possible in today’s day and age, I’d prefer to skip the phone and meet someone in person. 4-I know this one is kind of stupid but I really can’t tell if I’m ugly or not. I’m just looking for any advice the good people of reddit could give me. Thanks for your time.

TL;DR: I’m looking to meet a new best friend, just not sure where to start.
