Have something to offer.

Some people want your perspective. Some people want your ear. Some just want your presence. Figure out what you want, and pay attention to what others want. Finding the right match is when you end up having a great time.

Consider the medium you use for interaction and find a balance. My theory is that many people feel lonely nowadays because they overuse certain mediums for communication - the internet. It's not bad, but just doing something outside or in real life can make all the difference.

Very true

Often for me it is just getting myself out there - you might go to a certain event and talk to nooone and feel awkward. Screw it - just KEEP GOING. Eventually people will recognize you and eventually you will start to talk to people (or them to you). The key is just to be consistent and friendly.
