First important question is ---Do you really need a cofounder?---
I am founding this company http://www.onista.com (A Social Marketplace) and so far I am doing it all by myself. Didn't have any issues yet and I am very well on the course to launch it in Summer. It is true that it is taking me little longer time than what I could have done with one cofounder.
But again, why should I expect a stranger to take risks with his/her career, make sacrifices and be passionate about my idea.
After launching http://www.onista.com if people like it, then I am sure I will get cofounders.
The problem is that it would be difficult to get funding initially if you have no cofounder. So this means you will need to get lots of users all by yourself and maybe then some funding will come your way. But even that doesn't always happen.
Well, It is true that Funding will most likely follow towards companies those have 2 or more founders. But there are great success stories around single Founder. Look at Amazon, Del.icio.us, EBay.
I agree, having confounder helps a lot, but if one can't find it then that should not stop you from doing what you want to do.
