My "band" formed from playing with friends who had instruments. I know 5+ guitarists, a few bassists, a singer (dedicated singer, 3 or possibly more of the guitarists can sing decently), and maybe a drummer or two (luckily i play drums so that's a plus for me). Once you find a few people to play with it opens up a lot of doors because you get introduced to all of th musician friends of the people you play with and then the people they know etc.

Most of the time the band falls into your lap without you even trying. i.e. You get a last minute call from a friend who is playing a show but their drummer (or singer in your case) can't make it so you have to fill in.

Just keep trying and hopefully you'll find something.

But regardless, you should make your friends start playing instruments. Even if they're really bad at least you can play along with other people until you find something better.
