The best way to fight loneliness is to take the focus off yourself and fill the void in others. volunteer. When you give of yourself lovingly , it will always return many times over.
To give of yourself even on a professional level becomes personal. you get invited, like thanksgiving or Christmas. Then you meet even more people. Even romantically. Love givers are desirable.
Touch a lonely or disabled person. stop look around. If you look you will find. That blind person who needs to take your arm etc.
Seek and ye shall find

Join a local church. Find a group of people with like interests and meet with them on a regular basis. Get involved in your sons, daughters school activities. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister. Play more golf. Meditate on your center of being. Study world religions. Look for love in all the right places. Be at peace with the creator.

If you're not working already, you could find yourself a part time job. Joining a group would be beneficial. Become a volunteer. There's a lot of nice people out there just waiting to meet you. Go for it.

the best thing to do is find a friend, some one u can share a talk with. i also get myself getting lonely at times and some friends just dont seem to take that away but if you keep busy time wil fly by without your concent. get volunteering or specialise on your hobby get mad skills of what you like. in my dictionary lonliness does not exist beacause the sooner you rub it off your mind the sooner you dont feel lonelly.

Learn to enjoy your time alone by reading books, watching movies, playing computer games... etc. Living alone requires one to be a self entertainer. The idea is to be comfortable with yourself without others around to define yourself. It is a great time to get to know yourself and find out what you want to change in your life. I enjoy a great deal of solitude, and find myself resenting times when I have no choice but to be with the incessant chatter of others. Most people are not comfortable with thier own inner voice, and seek to drown it out with parties, conversation, and other social noise. While it is nice to have someone to share the good times with, it is certainly possible to enjoy your time alone. Use the time to explore your personal likes/dislikes. Sometimes we don't realise that we engage in some activities, not because we like them, but because our peer group (friends, family, coworkers, etc) enjoys them and we want to belong... personally, I don't enjoy 'belonging' to any group. The true trick to living alone is to learn to love yourself. Learn how to make your self into the sort of person you would want everyone to be; the sort of traits you would admire in another. Once you've discovered all the hidden traits you didn't know you had, and have modified your behavior to match that which you consider ideal; then you are ready to go back out into the world and find kindred souls to share it all with. In this manner, you will be building a meaningful group of friends. Friends who have similar interests, and hold the same values as yourself. At that point, it becomes fairly easy to make new friends and to find the 'perfect' life mate.
Also, here's a wonderful book, available on Amazon.com, that tells how to live alone and love it:

Not knowing your circumstances, it is difficult to give you more than general suggestions, as others have. If you work, than make friends with others. If you go to church then join a social group that meets there. Volunteer, with any organization, and meet people. I hope that this helps.

I'll tell you what you shouldn't do! Don't sit on your backside feeling sorry for yourself! Get out there and meet people, there are plenty of friendship clubs around, look on the net in your area, or in the yellow pages. They wont knock on your door, you've got to knock on theirs!!!! Have a great day.

Get out and do things with friends or family or go out and meet new friends. Anything like that to keep your mind occupied.
