i had a relationship with a girl who was like this, or close to it. She had like 1 or 2 friends aside from myself, but she was very family oriented, and it consumed a lot of her time. Eventually she didn't make much time to see me, and I only got to see her maybe 1 night a week, which made things really rough on myself. I broke up with her because of that.

It wouldn't matter to me because I don't have many friends myself.

It would depend on whether the lack of friendships is situational or permanent.

For instance, a person who just moved to a new town and is having adjustment issues, won't be considered a weirdo. Same with a person who suddenly realizes that his or her current group of friends are not adding to his or her life (leeches) and cuts them off to make room for new ones.... that's understandable as well.
But if a person has a track record of having no friends and seems to prefer being solo, that'd make me raise an eyebrow.

I would think that person had no friends for a reason.

Mind you, I don't think a person has to have lots of friends. But not having a handful of people who like her? Big fat warning side.

I would wonder why they don't have any friends. And there are several possible reasons, some problematic, some not.

Are you talking about a temporary situation (just moved into the area for a new job, for example) or something long-term (they never seek out friendships with other people).

But if this person has no friends, how are you in a position to start a relationship with them? Are you not friends, or at least on friendly terms?

I only have a select few people that I truly call friends. These people know personal things about me. Yes, I have other "friends" but they don't know nearly as much about me as the select few. Main reason why I only have 22 friends on FB. And I just deleted 4.

I just don't like having so many people know my personal business. Other than that, I'm pretty cool to hang out with
