Go explore your city. Go to movies by yourself. Go do things normally done in pairs of two, like dinner. Go out dancing by just yourself, become comfortable with you being your generator of fun, not others.
Go on adventures to nearby major cities. I live in Orlando, for instance; I like going to Daytona when I can, even mid-week, and Tampa Bay and Miami are top on my list for the future. I do it for ME. Good change of scenery, out of the routine of life, and it's adventuresome.
Tell people what you've done or what's in the works.
The more interesting YOUR life, the more other people will be drawn to it. But, whatever. The more interesting your life, the more you will interest yourself. More than anything, this post is about your life.
By taking yourself out, you get comfortable with socializing. This is one problem area I've been focusing on; while I spend a lot of time out in life, I still spent too much time on this damn Internet. I got over shyness, I got over appearance, but when it came time to asking a woman out, my mind would still struggle to find where a good place to go on a date. After a few weeks, my problem seems to be resolving itself. With my constant scoping out places to take myself, even for lunches, that mindset is carrying over to dates.
By taking yourself out, not only do you get comfortable with yourself, but you find good places to go. Going out with friends isn't a bad idea, but going out with friends generally hinders your ability to go where you want, you must yield to a group consensus, not to mention group outtings are often difficult to schedule.
