Would you date a guy who had only one close friend?

Question

Let's say I  had only one close friend that I  would actually hang out with in person, but he was a friend that was helpful and looked out for me when I was in the hospital with a kidney stone. Would you date him?

I feel like part of the reason I don't have a lot of friends isn't so much because I can't be friendly with people, but the fact that I'm very selective with who I choose to be my friends. I know most extroverted people can be friends with just about anyone, but that's not me. I like friends who are very funny like my one close friend Brian, but someone who likes to try new things and have old fashioned values.

I do have a person from college that even though we don't hang out, I consider very close to me and that's my friend Steve. Like I feel the few times we have hanged out in the past, we would have the best times joking around and such. It's just hard, because we usually hang out with this other kid in NY who is now married so it's hard for us to get together much. Like am I somehow wrong or weird for being very selective for choosing my friends? It's not that I can't make friends, but I'm just selective with the type of people I want to be friends.

It's quality over quantity. It doesn't matter how many social bonds you have, it only matters how strong they're. Your friend sounds like a great guy and the fact that he was there beside you in good times and bad is also a plus. So it really comes down to how deep do you want to make that bond? And if you feel strongly for him to have that type of relationship. Ales there is nothing wrong with knowing what you want and being selective.

Most people don't date their friends, because there isn't that spark in the relationship that makes their heart race at the thought of being together.  And, there is nothing wrong with being selective, but you need to get in the habit of giving more guys a chance to prove themselves, or you won't ever experience meeting someone that gives you that spark.

People with lots of friends are extroverts.

People with one or two close friends are introverts. There is nothing wrong with introverts.

Extroverts are made very uncomfortable by introverts, I'm not sure why. They seem to think we are unhappy, but we really are quite content and our one or two friends are closer than most extroverts are to their friends.

If you aren't comfortable with an introvert, don't date one. Personally, I have no problem with it since I"m an introvert.

Idc about the guy I liked friends. It depends on the girl I mean like I only have a few friends my self so I want someone about the same. Your friend seems like a good guy ig so yeah I'd be cool with it. I'm not that social so it doesn't bother me
