As a personal experience, my best nights always started with me drinking by myself at a bar and chatting with the waitress. Human nature makes it that people that are by themselves will go talk to people that are by themselves. Of course you have to try to have fun and forget that you are alone.
You would not even believe how many encounters started with women walking down to me and start chatting. Hell, even a married 50+ German women came up to me (I was 32 at that time) and said that her husband was a d+*k and was feeling lonely. You can probably guess what happened next.
Once you've attracted a couple of people, others will believe you are fun to hang around with and now be interested in knowing you as well. A bunch of strangers just chatting it up and getting drunk is usually a good mix for a lovely night.
Go out there, stop wondering about how you think you look like from a stranger's point of view (you are probably 95% wrong at all time) and just have fun. You won't believe how easy it is to meet with people. How you look is irrelevant if you have a funny personality.
