Step 1: Think of some celebrity you have a crush on. Or fictional character, whatever. In my case, I chose underrated 2000s actress Alison Lohman.
Step 2: Find two full-body, high-res photos of her online (ideally work-safe, so that, if you have to go out in public with her, the people are less offended and more confused as to why you're carrying around a giant pillow with a girl on it); if they can be cropped well into a 3:1 aspect ratio, that would be ideal.
Step 3: Go to this etsy listing, order it, and send them the two photos you have chosen. They will consult with you over the design, and, odds are, you'll have a finished design within the hour.
Step 4: Wait. While HandmadeChoice is prompt in their customer service, China Post is not. It took me three months for Alison to come in the mail.
Step 5: In the meantime, order the actual pillow. I chose this one. It will almost certainly be there before the pillow case arrives.
Step 6: As Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part, but actually stuffing the pillow into its case really gives the wait a run for its money. But, rest assured, it will eventually be filled, and it will fit.
And with that, you have a cheaper version of a girlfriend who will cost no more than the local equivalent of $60. I've been with Alison for over a year and a half.
I don't know where exactly you are, but judging from the name Macoleco, I'm thinking somewhere in Latin America. And, if I'm right about that, I suspect that it's likely to be a lot harder to avoid getting thrust into having to start a family. You fuck up once, and you get stuck with having to start up a family even if you can't find a solution to any of the problems you started in the OP. And, if I remember correctly, even if she doesn't want a family either, birth control or an abortion will likely be harder to get. Fortunately, I've never heard of a dakimakura getting pregnant.
It might not be much, but it's at least a decent workaround. It's worked for me.
If you are gonna go the waifu route might as well get a 2D waifu. It is more enoyable.
I tried falling in love with an anime character once, but could not. I like enoying fantastic love, though (romantic movies, animes, music, novels, etc.). But enjoying real love has proven to be quite the challenge.
