Do You Have Friends?

Does my darling Niblo count as a girlfriend? :D

I have enough friends, and many groups of friends.

I have a girlfriend, my own flat, car, 10 week old little boy... and an i7 930 :p

Trying to go out as many week ends as I can with the lads, but trying to keep a high profile social life is proving tricky with a little nipper ;)

Most friends don't really hang out unless there's an agenda involving alcohol, sport or food.

Eh?

Is that not stating the obvious? You see people for a reason. Apart from when you are kids and have zero responsibility and time to burn you are bound to have a reason to see people. Agenda sounds a bit of a negative word to use.

On topic I haves few circles of friends I see with differing regularity. Plus with the fiancae so it's all good on the social front!
 
The usual happens I suppose you grow apart. Was never away from my mates (8 of us) for years then I discovered woman and the early age of 30:confused:

So I started spending all my time with my now Fiancee. Talking,Laughing, Crying but mostly F'n her in the A. No seriously folks alls good. I still meet up with a few of them every now and again
 
I have a likable personality and get on well with all my peers (classmates). I have things in common with them and we talk about stuff we're interested in. However, I don't hang out with these people outside of college and would only go so far as to call them 'buddies'.

I have no interest in persuing a social life outside of college, though this is mostly due not having the desire to do the same things as the people in my class (messing about, drinking, etc). I also have a girlfriend who I spend a lot of my free time with, so I'm certainly not lonely.

I used to have two really good friends, though at different stages in life (so only one at each stage). We had loads in common and hung out quite a bit. Anyway, when the first moved away and the second dropped out of college, I couldn't be bothered to keep in touch (I literally haven't spoken to the second friend since the day before he decided to not come into college). I value companionship more than friendship so now prefer to just have buddies so time spent in class doesn't feel so dull.
 
I have a handful of close friends I can rely on or that I am closer to than the rest of my friends, plenty of 'mates' and people I keep in touch with. Most of mine seem to be finding girlfriends/boyfriends, we're in our early twenties.

I wouldn't mind having a partner/girlfriend however now isn't the best time for me as I have other priorities not to mention there's nobody I can see myself being happy with and there's no point in something for the sake of it or because all my friends currently are. I'm quite fussy too which doesn't help :rollseyes:

I also feel a bit old before my time! Only really fancying going out on special occasions for **** ups if we have something to celebrate and not 'just because' every weekend. Events in my life have caused me to grow up much sooner than my friends and having to deal with things most people don't until their late thirties/forties/fifties.

I'm in no rush.

Nope, not for about 4 years.

Had some great work mates, however they were all 6+ years older than me so never extended outside of work.

It's pretty crap. However I'm going back to college this year and uni after that so "hopefully" I'll get my social life back on track having missed a pretty decent chunk of it.

I am not exactly a people person. I have 2 or 3 really good mates that I have known since I was 5 and live very close to them and with one of them.

I generally hang around with them all the time, then about 20 or so close friends and then work buddies and mates of mates.

Oh and a twin brother who is ok I guess. :p

no girlfriend or cat at the moment sadly. :(
 
Last girlfriend = 9 years ago

1 remaining friend of 25years - whom i keep in telephone contact but don't socialise with.

I am very independent and pretty much enjoy my own company, though of course it can get lonely sometimes. I would like to have 'friends' albeit I find that I increasingly avoid social occasions.

Perhaps I am not a people person.

I do have an adorable cat so I am not technically alone forever :)
 
I've always got girls pretty easily and I've been in my current relationship for coming on 3 years. Do I have what I would regard as friends? No. I've been a loner since high school and never quite recovered, despite being a popular student inside of school hours, I had no mates outside. I had a rough home life growing up and that attributed to my rapid decline in confidence, which peaked around my early high school years. I have old school mates, college mates, work colleagues past and present. I don't see any of them outside and don't get asked out, seems to be a way of life now. 10 years of being a loner yet I somehow manage to get the girls.
 
Does anyone else talk to people they never met on MSN more than their friends they met in real life?

I do!

I have a lot of friends I met through uni, and friends that I grew up with. Good friends, friends that would offer me a roof over my head should I need it. However, for some reason, none of them are on MSN, some uses facebook, though I have all their phones numbers, we hardly talk to each other. Hell, 2 of my friends who live 5 min drive away I rarely see because they are both under the thumb. Which I am actually a little annoyed about. I am going to see someone the second time in a week tomorrow whom I only met the first time last Thursday when I haven't seen both of my mates for at least a month, the other one since Christmas!
 
I spend way too much time online every evening but then that's because I've shunned most of my old mates as they were pricks.
That or I just have a very low tolerance to said people who get my back up.

I'd say I've got two close friends, one of which is family, both are on here. LOL

After the nutters on POF I managed to find, a girlfriend is right down on the list at the moment.
To be honest, I'm at a point in my life where I have managed to turn it round into a direction I want to go in, before I was just aimlessly drifting. So the less female distractions the better.
I can worry about that when I've picked up a bit of speed later on..

Don't get me wrong, I know many people from different walks of life as I have in the past got involved in all sorts of different things in life, but none of them I'd class as close friends.
