I think I care about others less than regular people.
Last year I left my family, friends and girlfriend and moved to another country, and I don't think I'm much less happy alone. Of course I care about them and keep in contact, but in general I don't think I value my relationships with others that much.
My problem is, I don't know what to do about my love life.
More than anything else, I'd like to meet a girl that I really love, who I care about more than myself. But obviously it's not that easy, and after reflecting on it I wonder if it's even possible for me, feeling as I do.
I like my ex-girlfriend who I get along with well, and have a lot of memories with.
I also like a girl a little older than me who I've been going on a lot of fun dates with.
I've also met a few cute girls who seem like they'd be fun to hang out with if I asked them.
But I get a strong feeling of "She's the one for me" like you see in any kind of romantic media from anyone.
I'm not interested in sleeping around... I just want to have someone I really care about to share my life with.
What should I do?

What you are trying to find, is in my experience built with someone and not found.

How do I know who to build it with?

Stop thinking so far ahead. You sound like you're trying to life-hack your way to an "optimally satisfying" life. I hope the futility of this isn't lost on you.
Does your cup runneth over? What do you have to offer others? You seem like you're counter-productively isolating yourself, yet yearning to connect more deeply.

So how should I be thinking? Should I just be trying to date people and when I find someone I think I could spend my future with stick it out?

Think think think. Do you feel? Do you know relationships are born of from feeling, and not of thinking?
How satisfying could a relationship be if you didn't feel anything? It seems from what little you've said that you're chronically depressed. Would you say the the feeling in your body is relatively low?

No no, I definitely feel that I like people, am interested in them etc but I feel this about multiple people and I don't feel like it's enough to pursue a relationship over.
It's never an overwhelming desire like you see in romance stories. Those people always seem so sure.
