When are you too old to make real friends? The ones that you trust, have fun with and ask to be your maid of honour?

I'm low on friends, and I get lonely sometimes. I'm in love with my boyfriend and he is amazing btu he has his own friends and I want to too. I currently have one girl who I consider to be my bestfriend and although we are great and she and I have known each other a long time, she makes friends easy and is a social butterfly so she doesn't need me alot and I'm happy for her to be however she wants, cause I can call her whenever. But apart from her, I don't really have a friend, they are either miles away (other county, other part of UK or other country). I do have another friend who has tried to commit suicide so many times, it's rotuine and everyday I wake up to check if he is in the paper, he doesn't want help at all. I just want normal friends and to have fun, I'm only 22

    Don't know about the maid of honor thing but I am making new friends a lot, going to meet 15 new ones tomorrow. I'm just getting used to this friend thing, I'm 64.

    you only ask someone to be your maid of honor if you want to torture them.

    I am not sure of the answer but I am 22 as well and have the same problem. Although I actually don't have any friends at all. Just be open as many have said. However I honestly wouldn't know how XD

    Making friends don't need like any certain age as some can make friends easily which is like me but i chose not to have any friends at all in real life for trust issues and for the lies and taking advantage i got from so called friends to me. I do make my life pretty occupied as don't do like think should i have any friend to talk with or to have a real conversation with, as i do write stories over here and ep is like a bunch of friends who can comment on my stories or just do answer Q and comment on others stories and don't think about me have no friends at all.You can have friends if you can do studies or go to clubs and don't get afraid from letting people to come closer to you and try to figure you out and meet each others in the middle of the way.

    You are never too old but you have to make an effort to interact with different people at,work , coffee shop, gym, stores,etc . To many people keep to themselves and wonder why they have no or few friends .

    Whatever age you are, it is a perfect time to make friends and even get reacquainted with old friends or acquaintances whom maybe you never gave the relationship a chance to develop into something more. Not all of us can be social butterflies, but perhaps you have a talent or a skill that you could use to attract potential new friends. Perhaps looking through a flyer in your area might show you a club or a meeting geared towards people with similar interests. You don't need to hang onto your other friend's coat-tails. You can be independent and have your own social 'network'. There may even be group get togethers for people your age through your church and groups that they sponsor.

    You are NEVER to old to make friends. Have you ever been to a nursing home? Some of those people met for the first time there and they have become such amazing friends who love and care for each other.
    What you need to do is put yourself out there. Friends aren't going to just fall into your lap while you are sitting at home. Go out, do something fun, walk up to someone you find interesting and say "Hi"
