1. You started by taking stock of the friends and acquaintances you do have and maximizing these relationships.

2. You have joined a church that suits you perfectly and at least one volunteer group.   

3. You've looked up your old friends and those in your family who might need your friendship or assistance.

4. You have gone back to work part-time.

5. You have planned a family reunion.

6. You have become active in politics or activism of some sort. 

7. You have learned to play cards or dominoes and joined a group that plays.

8. You have joined at least one walking, dancing, or exercise group--something active.

9. You have gone back to school for continuing education.

10. If you are single and looking, you have gone to a singles groups or three and done some online dating or joined a matchmaking service.

You certainly have a social network by now.

That leaves emotional loneliness to cure.
