The only way I think is to feel good about yourself, positive mental attitude, keep fit and keep busy, also learning to love your own company.
its not always a good idea to keep going out with your friends, its a temperary fix, when they go back to thier girlfriends and you go back to your flat, it makes you feel worse. Also keeping in that lifestyle costs a fortune.
Go out with friends on occasions, like b'days etc, use up other time on hobbies , decorating, gardening, cars etc. anything where your not wasting money in pubs and nightclubs.

You can still feel lonely even if you are in a crowd of people. If you don't like yourself other people will pick up on the bad vibes you are sending out.
You have to learn to like yourself and be happy with your own company and forget about other people and then it will just happen.
We get into a vicious circle because we try to hard and I think it turns people away so we try even harder and so on.
I bet you will eventually meet someone when you least expect it in a place that you would not have considered.
Drugs definitely won't do it, you'll just end up in a really scary place !

You had fallen in love. Now you have to forget her, say to yourself hope she is happy and move on. You are so young! so mucch to see, do and experience. Don't be scared to meet someone else just because you think you'll be hurt again. If you restrict yourself you'll destroy yourself. I repeat to myself positive thoughts, it works! try it .
Be with your friends, do things you enjoy. If you keep feeling this way, you will affect your future, your near future anyway. I'm sure you will have lots of good things ahead of you; repeat to yourself i have great things ahead of me, smile . Think about all you have now that is good, we take all this as granted. Yell me how you get on. ;->

I think you can termporarily numb your ache inside by getting a new girlfriend, or a new pet, or a new toy or anything else to feel good, but it's sooner or later is going to disappoint you. I personally believe that until we go back to our Source, our God the Creator, we are not going to find any true answers. See, we were all created with certain needs and longings (e.g. for unconditional love and acceptance) that only God Himself can satisfy. But instead of coming to Him for our needs, we run to other things, and then get disappointed when they don't do what they were never designed to do... Anyway, I just hope you have courage and wisdom to think of your loneliness in connection with God. And please don't think I'm trying to impose religion here. Religion without a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ is empty and pointless. It's all about relationship, about connection, about intimacy--which God has made possible for all of us! If this peaks your interest, here's a website that I recommend to check out:

go someplace else entirely different that you wouldn't normally go. I met my guy at the casino but he was worker! :D It just happens i suppose. She may come up to or you may come up to her. Just because she looks average doesn't mean she doesn't have a good personailty. Just give people a chance. Do some kinda hobby and meet a group of friends or even invite some of your friends along as well. It will come along, just be patient.

Seriously get a puppy or kitten it will give you companionship and something to love and give you back unconditional love. I have three cats and I love them more than most people.

spend sometime by yourself, eat out by yourself, go to the movies, by yourself, do everything by yourself, spend enough time by yourself, you'll learn to love yourself.
