Try taking up community dance lessons. They're usually offered as municipal activities for free or very cheaply. If you're male, you'll never be without partners, as there are usually always more women to men, so some women may dance the mens part to even it out. And it worked for my dad, he went from not knowing dance, to volunteering there often, to dating and now a second marriage. As a somewhat lonely person myself, this showed me that in life, there are indeed second chances. And life is what you make of it. Try new things.
