The guy i've been dating doesn't seem to have friends

I've been dating a guy intimately for two months but he doesn't seem to have any friends. When I ask him about friends he says well, I'm 34 and most of my friends have gone separate ways over the years, and most of them have wives and kids. I'm 28 and I can't imagine ever not having a lot of friends.

Whenever I ask him what he's doing, he is either working, at home watching t.v. at the bar by himself, or playing sports such as softball, or volleyball. He meets people at the bar and he plays softball with friends but he never hangs out with them outside of softball.

We go out about twice a week and I really like him. He's in really good shape, has a lot of energy, and kind of good looking in his own way. He always takes me places I've never been such as whale watching, musicals, hot air balloon riding, and he always pays for everything. I think I might get kind of bored with him, though, cause I seem to be the only personal friend in his life.

    Strange reason to break want to break up with someone. You go out with someone for them not their friends

    I also forgot to mention, your story reads like a spoiled brat wrote it, which is probably true. I bet this guy wouldn't be taking you anywhere again if he read it and realized you wrote it.

    Lol this is funny, people don't just remain friends "forever", people get married, have kids, move away, take other jobs etc. He's probably plenty social enough for himself with those activities but I guess that isn't enough for you lol ?? The boring thing is funny also, I guess he's just boring though, not his money. What's probably gonna happen is you'll dump this guy for being "boring" and you'll find some loudmouth jackass who's "exciting" and then that guy will cheat on you, and you'll sit back scratching your head.

    It's a stupid reason to end a relationship, but you might as well do it now. Letting him continue to take you out and spend money on you when you feel like you're going to get "bored'' of him, would make you a bitch.

    I'm also a guy who doesn't have any close friends... Just a few acquaintances. My wife and I have been happily married for 10 years. Before she was my wife... before she was my girlfriend, she was my best friend.

    Yes it's normal. He is more social than I am. He atleast has the softball thing going. People that are career fiocused and driven to succeed will sometimes have to relocate or end up in a position without friends near by.

    I think it's normal and I can tell you exactly what you got to such guys, I've had a few myself in the past. On one side they're very loyal to you, they'd never cheat on you. You're everything to them. On the other side they're mostly a bit boring. Not really outgoing types, more like staying at home.

    Of course it's up to you what kind of guy you want. For myself, I'd want a guy who's a bit more active and outgoing. That he fools around with other girls every now and then doesn't bother me, so do I with other guys. It makes life exciting. But of course, that's just my opinion.

    I'm another guy with pretty much no friends. Certainly no one I'm at all close to.
