I was the same way in high school as well. I didn't do a whole lot of socializing, but I did get used to doing things on my own and in that sense I was probably more mature than a lot of my peers. I knew some high school students, and now some adults, who could not stand the idea of ever being by themselves. If there weren't people around, they didn't know what to do with themselves. It also gave me time to write a lot and develop some skills in that area.
The only suggestion I have for you to help you in the short term is to try to make some new friends who you will be able to see more often. If you live in a subdivision as opposed to out in the country, there are probably some other teens your age around, and you might get to meet them by getting out of the house and riding your bike around, or playing some basketball, or going to the pool if there's a neighborhood one. You could also join some activity that you could ride your bike to or get a job close to your house if there are any available; both could help you meet some new friends. And some of them may be girls.
And lastly, remember, as others have said, that high school won't last forever, and if you pick a university that seems like a good fit for you socially you will have many opportunities then to make friends and date.
