Assuming you mean off the forum, yes and it would depend on where a cut-off is placed as to how many.

Yes.  Close friends, around ten, in and out of school.  Regular old friends, probably around twenty.  Friendly acquiantances, alot.  I wouldn't have gotten elected High School President last year without those people.

Yes, I have a number of real life friends.  I'd say about 10 close friends, and then a number of friends that I see on occasion but stay in touch with.

What about you Wally?

As for best friends, I have 3 (Fezzy, Madi, and Jon.  Fezzy's my favorite Kiki).

As for good friends, maybe like 10.

As for friends, maybe like 30.

Everyone else is either neutral or I don't really like them.

Hmm, I don't make a distinction between 'good friends' and other categories.

My classifications go a bit like this:

Best Friends: 2
Friends: 9
Friendly Aquaintances: Countless
Aquaintances: Even more countless
Unfriendly Aquaintances: Numerous
Enemies: Huh
Worst Enemies: 1

Oh, yes I do -- well over 200 of them on Facebook, but those can't all be counted as "friends."  I've always thought of myself as having countless acquaintances but very, very few close friends.

I might have anywhere from five to ten people that I feel really close to and can tell anything or talk about anything with.  Then there are probably 20 or 30 people I see on a regular basis who I am close to.  And then we get into the countless acquaintances, who are very beneficial to have.  "Friends" use each other to get things that they need, so the pool of 200+ on Facebook alone is quite useful.

Naturally, when I'm back home, I have a lot more close friends who I enjoy spending time with on a regular basis than I have when I'm elsewhere.

Plus, I've never seen age as a barrier to friendship.  I'm 23, and some of my best friends are 78, 53, 38, 36, a few around my age and one that is 18.

That sums my friendships up, plus 40 who consider me to be their friend that I don't really know.

To be honest, I don't have many real friends. When I talk about me and my friends' drunken antics, by "friends", I usually mean just acquaintances, typically people my actual friends do know so I end up hanging out with, or people I frequently run into at places I like to hang out at. I don't have any real problems with this arrangement though, I still get to have a drunken good time, and that's all that matters.

Depends on the definition, but I guess around a dozen I'd consider friends.
