I hear ya on this one. A few recommendations:

- join local communities that interest you (cycling, running, chess, gaming, etc)

- don't be shy about being explicit about meeting new friends. there are others out there just like you and you'll find just by simply saying "im looking for new people to meet" will make it much easier

- drink! I hate to say it, but drinking (nothing excessive) makes meeting people much easier

I've been lonely enough times in my life (due to moving to new places) that after you've done it enough it sorta becomes regular practice. I like to remind myself of a Tobias Funke quote "there's dozens of us, literally dozens of us!"...in other words, you're not alone no matter how small you think you are.
