Dude, I have totally been in that crying-on-my-bed, feeling sorry for myself, wondering what's wrong with me state. I feel for you.
Most guys I meet who can't meet girls seem to be lookin' in the wrong places -- work, for example. I'm not gonna get all cliche and tell you to join classes or a club or something, but I can say that if you get busy -- if you can find the energy to do more than just go to work and then veg out in front of the tv -- you'll sort of cast a 'wider net.'
BTW, last time I was sad and crying I read "If the Buddha Dated" . I did an exercise the book suggested where you write down everything you're looking for. I didn't realize it at the time, but within 3 months I met the girl that fit the description. (And in an unusual way -- I read for a blind couple, and she drove for them.) Universal incantations coming to life, or coincidence, you decide. But it's something that could keep your mind off the lonely a li'l bit longer.
*hugs*
