Play the Reti. It forces d4 queen side and you can play any opening that plays against d4

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com.  

   If you don't like playing e4, then I suggest playing d4 for the first move.  This move gets a pawn in the center.  And it opens up lines for the bishop.  

  I hope that this helps.

Nf3 is better than d4. It doesn't commit to your structure

The important thing is to control the centre. It doesn't matter which move you do.
