How do I find people to play with? I made a character I really like creating characters and I got the Rick and Morty VS DND for my family for fun. See I play a lot of role playing video games so I really like developing and creating characters. Any DM willing to accept some noob? I created a dragon born bard who's a criminal and is looking to capture the dragon that escaped it's prison and killed his friends and family. Pretty simple lol
I would suggest looking at your local gaming/hobby store, they usually run d&d games on certain nights. There is also meetup.com, online via roll20 or any other virtual tabletop. You could post something on Craigslist, ask some friends if they are willing to learn/play.
If you don't mind a few hard restrictions on character building then consider looking for an Adventure League game nearby (or even online). It's a quick and easy way to join up a D&D game with strangers, and can be a good place to meet other people who are also interested in starting up a full campaign of their own.
You could of course also go old school, and try to convince some of your friends to try out roleplaying. You've might have to DM at least the first few sessions, but it's not THAT scary - especially if you're all new.
Welcome to the wonderful world of D&D! A lot of folks here have made some excellent suggestions for places to start. Don't be discouraged if it takes a little bit to find a group, or the right group for you. Organizing a regular D&D game, just like organizing any regular activity with a bunch of busy adults, is the hardest part of this hobby!
You said you picked up the Rick & Morty vs D&D sourcebook, that does a great job of walking new players and DMs through the game. If you have family or friends who are fans of Rick and Morty, maybe try selling them on the R&M part more than the D&D?
Your friendly local gamestore has already been mentioned, and that is an excellent resource for games in your area! Also check your library, and any Facebook groups for local D&D communities. For online groups along with the LFG forums here you can check out our Discord ( https://discord.gg/dndbeyond ). And if you are a fan of any D&D liveplay shows or podcasts, check if they have a community Facebook/Discord/forum! A lot of people who watch D&D are also interested in playing, and you'll already have a shared interest point if you like the same show!
D&D isn't a nerd game anymore, its a social game the encourages creative thinking, strategy, face to face interaction, light math and storytelling. Many celebrities play now and it has exploded on mediums such as YouTube and Podcasts. People play it at bar and restaurant pop-up events such as “Drinks and Dragons” in Philadelphia, and “Orcs! Orcs! Orcs!” in Portland, Ore. They pay $2,650 per person plus lodging over four nights to play it in Caverswall Castle in Staffordshire, England. They swell the ranks of the D&D Meetup groups from Tokyo (37 members) to Kolkata, India (501 members).
Teachers now organize students into d&d after school programs and summer camps. Some therapists it to yrach austistic kids social skills. And when a UCLA researcher adapted a game for av3rd grade class, the students improved in areas including math, reading comprehension and conflict management.
Most people, both men and women, are playing now because its never been easier thanks to 5th edition. The game has grown so much as of late, for a lot of people its a social norm. A way to kick back, eat good food and play a game with family and friends.
On top of your friendly local game store, you might also check out your friendly local comic shop. People who enjoy the one hobby frequently also enjoy the other. You might also check out your friendly local library. Libraries are by default comunity-centric places. They might even have the books on hand to loan out, and they might even have a message board for people to find each other.

I think this is just Earth becoming more and more nerdy. Nerds rule to world, I have nothing against nerds, any of my friends would tell you that I'm the biggest nerd in the state, but I think the connection between D&D and nerds is seen as negative, while it is a great game for everyone, I don't think you can say D&D isn't a nerd game anymore. D&D is nerdy, and people are accepting nerdom isn't a bad thing anymore.
There are some great suggestions here. I'd ask around, I'm sure some people at your work, or some people you know play D&D or are curious about it and would like to play it, the Rick and Morty connection is a great way to start a conversation about this. I've had the "look" you get from people when you ask if they'd like to play D&D, where they look at you like, "have you lost your mind, I don't want to get that on my permanent record".
Look around for people you think would possibly try it. A lot of people unwillingly play D&D for the first time and end up loving it (Sam from Critical Role is a great example). Just try a little more, I'm sure you'll find someone to play with, and getting started, just 1-2 players is just fine.

I think people are trying to say D&D isn't a nerd's game anymore because they don't want to admit to being a nerd or be called a nerd, though there's nothing wrong with being a nerd.

Ludo ergo sum!
Oh no my friends just keep calling me a nerd and laughing at me. Lol
Been there/done that.
Though to be fair my friends don't rally laugh at me... the just give me strange looks and shake their heads.
WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
