I am a 20 year old male in college, I only have a few friends that I don't see that often (maybe once, twice a week) and no girlfriend. I am completely content with my situation, although I wouldn't mind having a girlfriend. So am I normal? Should I want to have more friends and go out more? Are some of you the same way?
Do you think it's normal?

As long as you're happy with not having that many close friends, I don't see a problem with it. Some people like having friends around, some people don't. I'm one of those people who is content without friends.
You have to compromise to have friends. If you don't want to, don't.
It's OK just so long as your happy. I love having friends to talk to constantly. I think the friends that you do have, you should cherish. It's good to have someone to turn to on a rainy day or to keep you company when you go places, it's just more fun that way.

have a good day, 20yr-old-male-college-guy.
I'm a 19 year old girl in college and I only have a few friends. I know loads of people, but I only speak to them in class and other social situations like that. I don't go out that much either. Sometimes I do feel like going out a lot, but otherwise I'm generally content doing quiet things.
You sound just like me. Sometimes i want to go out a lot, but generally I don't have many people to go out with, So i stay inside and find something else to do to pass the time. Nice to hear from a girl I can relate to! :-)
Get out there! college is full of clubs and groups so you can find people with common interests. plus there are usually girls there you can meet.
Im definatly the same way. I take the word 'friend' seriously and I think it takes a long time to find the ones who are true.I have a few friends and I love them to death. and I have a bunch of acquaintances who I talk to if they are around.I think if you have friends that you are happy with quantity really shouldn't matter.
I've always been the same way. I only have 2-3 close friends at any given time. In college i hung out with more people but have lost touch with all but one. And even when i was more social, i frequently passed up on chances to hang out with others because i just wanted to be alone. I think society makes you think that you're doomed unless you have a huge entourage of friends 24/7. as long as you're okay with it, i think you're perfectly normal.
It doesn't matter if you have enough friends or not, if you're happy that should be enough.
well, what you should do is find other people that might be outgoing and invite you to parties and there you'll meet more people and have more fun :D
Yeah - stay with the contentment and reach out for the rest. That's normal.
