Would you date someone who had few or no close friends?

I think it depends really. Unless he's new to the city I think it would be weird if he had no friends at all. But I would still date him. And as others have said as long as he can function socially in the world it's all good.

I'm wondering if a guy having friends would affect whether or not you would date him?

I didn't differentiate between having no friends and only having one or two because I'm lazy and I wasn't sure how much that mattered.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks!

No friends would be an issue probably, unless they're new to the area. I could imagine them becoming really clingy/obsessive and it would make breaking up all the more of a worry because then they would be alone once again, which would be horrible following a break-up. I would probably end up feeling smothered- imagine being the only person someone would text, talk to, spend time with etc.


A few friends; however, would be fine for me. Usually small friend groups means the friends are more loyal.

I would be more afraid to date a 'social butterfly'. That they would easily find the next best thing when they're through with me.

I've dealt with both extremes before and neither was good. The "social butterfly" tends to put their friends/social events before the relationship and it can be frustrating. The other extreme is bad because when they have no friends, you become their socialization and frankly, I need my space to do my own shit at times.

My current BF definitely skews more to the "social butterfly" side but I have no problems with it yet. We will see how it is once the nicer weather comes along.
