Is it a RED FLAG for you if the person you are dating has no friends?

Come on, you're not being realistic here. Times have changed and it's harder to meet people.
For one thing, I used to make most of my friends at work and one or two at church. People do work in offices as much as they once did. They worked from home. So, there goes this opportunities to meet friends. People hardly go to church anymore, and if they did go, some nut case could go in there and start shooting people. People didn't disown you and your whole family I'd you weren't a denocrat.
And as everyone knows, after COVID not only did a lot of people lose friends that died or because they house ridden from the vaccines. Now we have FENTYNL killings by the thousands in America 🇺🇸. That lessens the chances to make or be friends with people.
So, just Burn your judgmental red flag and look at the reality of why they may not have friends.

For me personally, the friends I have had for many years live across the U. S. and the one's I had closer I think senses my political views were different than theirs.
I once had lots of friends in my apartment building until they changed it from assisted living apartments to regular apartments and all but 2 or 3 stayed.
So, there you have it!

Depends on why. Most of my friends are deployed or scattered around the world. I used to travel a lot for work. I have acquaintances and race buddies here, but "friend" is a strong word and I'm not crawling into a sniper nest for anybody here.

It depends to be honest. It is a yellow flag for me in friendships with women if they don’t have other friends that are girls. Usually there is a reason for it and it isn’t because all other women suck. As for relationships it would be a yellow flag if he has zero friends in general. If he had close friends that moved away, for example, and he is having trouble making new ones then that is fine, can’t really control people moving and not everyone has an easy time meeting people. If he goes through friends like water then that is an issue as there is something that he is doing that is causing that happen. So maybe not a red flag not having friends, but definitely it is something you need to take into account and proceed with caution over

Rei has some very good points, Although I would had if someone is struggling to form connections with others, like self isolation or mental health issues, that could be cause for concern. However, the topic with that person needs further exploring and communicating with that person to have better understanding of those reasons, for not having friends. Communication is key to understanding that person's journey.

Depends is it because she didn't fit in doing the ratchet 304 behavior activities. Mayne her parents kept her in the house qnd lives under a rock or is she just a disgusting back stabbing person who everyone hates, honestly I could easily find out if that was the reason why lol

[RobT312]

Yes, dated someone like that in my past, and it made sense as time went on…. i ended up not being her friend anymore either….🤣 So yes, a red flag

[Kimchi_doll]

What was wrong with her?

[RobT312]

@Kimchi_doll mean spirited in many ways… its why she didn't have many friends. That was a good clue!

[DubiousIntentions]

It would definitely raise eyebrows for me. But what would really raise a red flag high on the pole is if they never introduced you to their parents/family, without at least a good explanation. After all, not all families are units of love. A lot of people today tend to be loners, but still they have at least one friend or more. Someone with none at all makes one think why? What is wrong with them? Do they chase everyone away? Did they just get out of prison? Do they have an anti-social personality disorder? Do they not even have a Facebook friend or two? It would be enough to make any person wonder why.

[mandyfire98]

For me personally, it is. I don't think there are many people that don't have any friends. There has to be a reason why they have no friends at all. There's no way that it can just be everyone else's fault or that everyone just happened to turn their back on that person for no reason. Normally that would be a sign of a personality disorder more than likely.

[lilyanony1]

I don't really have friends just acquaintances. I thought I had some friends but it seems they don't value you me the same way I do them. Once again.
I have reduced the people in my life because I wasn't treated very well.
Is I a red flag. Probably because I don't know how to keep friends that take the piss out of me

[Anonymous]

i hate to say yes, but... personally i do kind of think that is odd. this pretty much sets you up for being depended on 24/7 and never having a break because they don't have any friends that they can have their own life with sometimes outside of the relationship.

[Anonymous]

Bit of a yellow flag. I would wonder why they don't have friends, because you would assume that someone would have some friends left from highschool our their study or something. I don't have many friends but a few that I'm very close with.
But it doesn't have to be bad, you can lose friends because of many reasons. It doesn't have to tell you anything about a person, but it still feels a little weird.

[Anonymous]

Not at all.
I’m introvert (according to the term.
Being alone and by myself is highly craved and being around people is very draining that I’m pure exhausted by the time it’s over with.
So to be social is not a reflection of my personality and many others too and I would not say it’s a RED FLAG 🚩 Solitude has such value to me. I can breath and be at ease.
Why’s it okay to ask a quiet person if their ok but considered not socially norm to question a very forward individual.
-Hypocrisy (my version)

[Boomchakalaca]

Shits annoying at work. people expect me to be enthusiastic and loud like bish im not here to entertain u and make friends i want money

[Joshydavid25]

No friends? I mean yeah probably.. I'm not the most sociable dude out there ATM.. But even I got a few friends.. Even some online friends are okay..

[IslaTheWitch]

So I'm one walking red flag, and I don't speak about the hair color :D

[madhatters4]

yes. it is because it makes you wonder what is going on that they are unable to maintain relationships with people.

[genericname85]

yes. cause that means they have no social support structure and all that burden is gonna be on my shoulders.

[NotInterestedSorry]

Not all of us who have no friends depend on the other person. I have my daughter but at the same time I'm a loner in life but I also don't depend on others I'm happy to give the guy space. All I want from a guy is honesty and to spend at least 1 whole day with me a week and be faithful

[syncheart]

If this the case then I am a red flag because I don't have any friends.

[Anonymous]

I seriously asked this exact same question almost a month ago and the responses I got was no, but here most people are saying it is a red flag.

[coachTanthony]

LOL maybe they were lying

[AaronKrieger]

At my age, yes, that usually ends up meaning co-dependency. At yours? Not really, since I think most people at your age don't have many.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Yes but I know why she doesn’t and I’m fine with it

I don’t need a perfect person and neither does anyone else

just ask yourself if you love this person enough to put up with their bullsht

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope. I don't have friends neither since I'm not the friend type.

[Simslover92]

No its not a red flag to me but apparently it would be a yellow flag for my boyfriend if I didn't have any friends.

[Anonymous]

Not necessarily. I don't have many friends. I refuse to be a door mat anymore. I'm done people pleasing. Also it's difficult to have friends as an adult with kids for me anyway

[LazerBean]

Yeah, if someone is friendless at my age it means they're doing something wrong.

[BCRanger10]

Red flag? Eh... maybe a light shade of red. It should at least be taken into account.

[KostasKouvalis]

Not really. Maybe she's just shy or has been betrayed a lot. Personally, I would prefer if she didn't have any friends, so I could have her all to myself
