Queen's gambit's general theme

Hey! I always kept overthinking what opening to learn and what would be the best for a beginner like me.
Eventually, I kinda liked the Queen's Gambit for white and read something about French Defence for black.
I started playing them and I liked my games as white, but the French Defence seemed really unintuitive and hard. 
Is there some opening as black with similar gameplay as Queen's Gambit for white? 
What opening would you recommend for me? 

Define what you mean by the French being unintuitive.  The French is far more self explanatory than the Sicilian!  See below!

Well, with Queen's Gambit it all feels so natural to me; when I'm playing the French I feel like I'm just playing random moves and letting my opponent do anything he wants. 
Probably you're right and it all makes a lot of sense, but I struggle to see it myself, that's why I wanted to know if there's some opening for black which kinda resembles Queen's Gambit.

On the contrary, french defence is very intuitive to play in my opinion.

Why? The plans are easy and clear in most variations.

If u compare with sicilian and 1.e4 e5, pawn structure in french gives the way to play, with typical ideas.

While sicilian and 1.e4 e5 give many choices, many different positions/pawn structures for both and it is very difficult to master them.

Maybe what u like in Queen's gambit for white is some space, and then, french can seem a bit cramped sometimes. Hence 1.e4 e5 is the way, while scandinavian is another interesting defence (easy to learn).

Also, speaking as a huge French advocate, I write for a blog, and about half my articles are on the French Defense.

I write a series called "The French Connection" which is 39 articles deep thus far.

To get to them:

1) Go to www.charlottechesscenter.org

2) Up top on the right, you will see logos.  The first is an f for Facebook.  The second is a B for Blogger.  Click the B!

3) If you are on a cell phone or mobile device, go to the bottom and click "View Web Version".  If you are on a PC or Laptop, you can skip this step.

4) Go to the Blog Archive on the right.  Go to 2018, and in there go to March.  In that month, you will see "The French Connection Volume 1".

5) Go into that article, and get out a board and pieces (they are specifically written for those motivated enough to truly study chess, and so I do not embed boards for people to rapidly play thru moves).  Each article should take you about 60 to 90 minutes.

6) When you finish the first, go to the next.  They all have the same title except Volume number.  You can use the archive on the right and work your way from March 2018 to the present.  There will be more articles on this written.

Note that this series is objective, not just for Black, and Black does not win all games.  There are some beautiful gems by White as well!

1) Too long to post on chess.com

2) It is contractual.  By posting to specifically that blog, I pay zero for membership annually.

3) There is a blog archive making them easy to find if you know the month.  I mention March 2018 a lot.  Here? Inactivity simply would cause the thread to fade with no easy way to find it, meaning if I wrote the 40th edition in August, by the end of August, nobody would find it.
