Virginity

I really want to have sex but 1- I’m single and 2-i don’t know how to go about it and find someone to do it with. I’ve established I do not have to have my first time with a significant other. I want to do it with a friend or something, I want no romantic feelings involved. The problem is, I don’t know how to initiate the person I’d like to do it with. Would it be weird if I just asked??? How do I make it clear I just want sex and not a relationship so the person doesn’t get the wrong idea. I’m currently 18 & I’m not saying this bc i want to lose it right now or I’m sex crazy atm but I just want some advice/input? Would it be so wrong to just have a plain and simple hook up ?
