Do You Have Friends?

I split up with my girlfriend last Saturday and although I have friends that I see at a local club, I have probably one, maybe two true friends that I can rely on unquestioningly.

I live miles from anyone I know which makes life difficult sometimes and I would like to have a close knit group that sees each other regularly but I've never been that type of person really. I love to be in a relationship and thrive on the close connection that brings. Being single is not a good place for me.
 
I have a girlfriend, I have 2 proper friends but never see them as we live pretty far apart these days (getting old sucks because of this).

I don't have any probs getting on with people, most people seem to like me, which I find odd as I'm quite sarcastic and quite blunt with my opinions.

I don't, got to the point that I don't really care either.

Surely you care a little bit, you seem almost bitter in the way that comes across. It's nice having people to talk to away from the keyboard. Don't you want things to be different?

They spend all their time online and don't know how to interact with "real" people! ;)

I have a few social circles I move in, probably a total of about 30 pretty good mates. However, out of that lot there are only 3 that I would class as "true" friends.

I think the friends > relationship thing holds water. Your real mates are always there when everything goes **** up.

That is why I think some people have been making the distinction between good friends and mates. Real friends are people you view almost as family in terms of what you would do for them and vice versa. I would imagine most people have much wider circles for drinking, messing etc.

The past week I've been out with four different circles, each circle had between 7 and 20 people, every single individual in each group bar 1 has been to my house and 'socialised' with me as a friend.

They are friends. Close friends who I share a bed with and paint their nails? No. Doesn't make them non-friends though does it?

It also depends on how you establish a good friend and differentiate between good and best.
 
My wife is Irish and since moving with me to the UK has really struggled to make good friends.

Living in London was tough and now we live in Sussex. To be honest with you people in Sussex are a cold lot.

People in Ireland are in the main much more engaging and friendly. (If you are English though you do have to endure the 10% of the population who will hate you on sight)

Wow, wish I was you.:rolleyes::p
 
I have quite a few, but they're located where I used to live. Bad thing is, I don't really mind. I like being alone and having no friends. As long as I have my P.C, I'm sorted. ;)
 
Best friends, perhaps 4-5. Good friends, perhaps 20. 'Mates', maybe 30-40.

I don't see all of them on a regular basis, but you don't need to. With my better friends, whenever you see them it's straight back to how it always was.

No girlfriend though, not ideal!
 
I have a close group of friends around 6 of us, then around another 10 which i see on an on and off basis. Outside of that i know a reasonable amount of people which i speak to should i see them on a night out.

No GF currently, already been in something longterm i'm just happy to play the game atm it's more fun that way.
