Say that you got close to someone you like, and then they want to know about your friends and you don't have any close ones, what do you tell them?
This is not me in this situation, I have no hope, I am just curious...

This is not me in this situation, I have no hope, I am just curious... There is not much else you can do except to tell them the truth. They will find out eventually. Maybe just tell them you have a few friends and you hang out occasionally. Also tell them that you would like the opportunity to make new friends, but your shyness prevents it. It sucks how a lot of girls out there base a potential partner on how many friends or aquaintences he has...very superficial. But then again, i guess a guy with a lot of friends means he is fun and outgoing....what more could a girl want?

Well chances are they'd be in the same boat as me with few or no friends, so it wouldn't be a big deal telling them.
Of course tell the truth early on to save yourself wasting time in a doomed relationship.

I'm not so sure it'd even come up. I don't remember the last time that someone new I met, male or female, wanted to know all about my friends. It was like, if they met them, fine, if not, they didn't wonder. Or if they wondered they didn't say anything. If you get close enough with the person they obviously enjoy your company, so what would it matter? But if it does come up, like Flying High suggested, you could just tell them you have a few friends and you see them every now and then.

I've had the same worry. Whenever I've been out on a date, I'm aware that the girl I'm with has a much larger social circle than I do. No, it seldom comes up explicitly, but in your frame of reference in conversation, it's easy enough for the person you're with to work it out.
Lying about your social habits is a non-starter.
Putting a positive spin on them is fine, though!
I'd be honest, say 'I guess I don't have that many people I'd count as a close friend at the moment' if I was pressed, while smiling and injecting just a little meaning into my gaze at her.
Just a thought!

This is not me in this situation, I have no hope, I am just curious... Just tell her "I'm not going to introduce a fine girl like you to my friends...they'd all be chasing you if I did! I'm gonna keep you all to myself." ;D

This is not me in this situation, I have no hope, I am just curious... I think the important thing is not being with the girl 24/7, it gets old, the spark fades etc. Even if she doesn't ask, it's important to, occasionally say "well i'm going out with some buddies tonight" or something like that, just so you're not with the girl all the time.
