Most of my friends are between 28-37. I like my friends to be of legal drinking age. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467847 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:10:40 +0000 Arden 467847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my friends are older than me. I'm 22, and while I do have friends around my age, most are 28-35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467829 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:06:17 +0000 autumnlove 467829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Some of my good friends are 21 and 50! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467825 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:05:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 467825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 23... and in general there is no one within 5 years of me who is in a similar stage of life (married with a baby), so most of my friends are 27-35. It takes awhile for people to find out my age and they are always really surprised.</p> <p>It's not that I wouldn't be friends with someone younger than me - but it's highly unlikely just because I wouldn't be able to relate to them at all. I find that relationships with those younger than me err on the "mentor" side of things. Even if they're like 21 :-P I feel so much older than I am because of where I am in life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467822 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:04:53 +0000 Weagle 467822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 25. I don't have many friends younger than 22-23, but I have many friends that are 10-15+ years older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467814 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:03:29 +0000 Bao 467814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 23, so anyone younger than probably 20 and older than 35 would probably be awkward to hang out with as "friends", of course I associate with people of all ages all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-age-requirements-for-friends#post-467800 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:00:42 +0000 MrsTiz 467800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there an age that is too young or too old for you to initate a friendship with? </p>
