I dont think it's common for middle aged or older people to make friends that late in life, maybe just casual acquaintances.
True.... I have a lot of casual acquaintances, just no close, true friends. ZERO.

Two close friends, a number of acquaintances I could count on should I need them (need a ride, they'd give me one, etc.... and I would do the same), and a number of other acquaintances I could catch a movie with, and then just random acquaintances I'm friendly with.

I usually don't get past the "acquaintance" stage with people, so... 1.

I would say none. I have had 2. But one moved away, and another we grew apart.

Otherwise, everyone else was acquaintances.

at the moment, none.
But I'm in high school, so that explains it.

Friends? Less than 15. Acquaintances? Hundreds, mostly people I met in college and grad school.
