How often do you see your friends? Just curious.

About once a month, it used to be more but I moved from Skegness in Lincolnshire to Northampton last year for work. I would like to make it more often but its a 2 and a half hour drive, I can't afford the fuel to go every week, not to mention when I'm on call I have to stay local. Currently working on getting everyone to move closer, its not working very well.
Not including online friends as I 'see' them often. Though I haven't chatted with @CrazyCapnMorgan in a while. Want to hear now the new job's going. >.> Nobody's been online in FFXIV in weeks so we don't see each other much now.
I go out with my best friend every couple months or so. She lives on the other side of the city and is a single mom, so it can be hard to schedule stuff. We usually do things with her daughter, but she often has plans with others or events and such to deal with as well. One friend I usually see once a week as we work out together, but this month she's very busy, and last month I was on vacation, so I haven't seen her in about a month. Other friends is every now and again.
I live with @Miyenne, so that's pretty much it. I don't feel the need to be very social. Never have.

Depends what friend we're talking about. I "see" (i.e. go out with) my best friend from college once a week. Another couple of good friends of mine I see once or twice every month. None of my friends are actually friends among themselves, so I spread myself thin over 3 or 4 valuable friendships that work independently from one another. I like it that way.
I hang out with one of my friends a couple of times a week. Hes unemployed, lives a 5 minute walk away, and I am his best and closest friend so we hang often.
My other best friend I see every week cuz he usually gives me a ride to the college we go to but because of our work schedules we don't really get to hang out as much. He is also a social butterfly and has a lot of other friends he sometimes hangs out with.
My third and final best friend lives and goes to school far away from me. Been best friends since young childhood but these days I only get to hang with him once a year.
I have no other friends

My group of friends shifts quite a bit nowerdays, mostly because I study and live far away from where I come from. I still go "home" almost every weekend. I normally see someone every weekend. Not the same person, though, sorta rotating. I try to get as many of them as possible into a room to maximise friend-exposure. Magic: The Gathering and D&D work quite well for that.
The people in the town I study in are... well, I'd call some of them friends, even if they might not call me a friend. I see them every few days, mostly because they are the best friends of my flatmate. We all get along, but we don't do all that much together.
And then there is obviously my flatmate, who I'd obviously call a friend. I see her pretty much five days a week, and once a week we watch TV together.

Once a month or twice if we can all get out of work.
Work is the problem. If 2 out of the 6 of us can't make it we tend to call off our fortnightly meetings so we'll only see each other once a month. This seems fairly average from people I speak to. I'm surprised how little some people see their friends, I guess that's life for you.

"I have NO idea!"
Seriously, I have one best friend, three friends that I know outside of the education system, several frienquaintances that I always meet up on specific days of each month, and everyone else I either only know by username and/or through someone else...
My best friend and I knew that once we got jobs, we couldn't hang out as much as we used to... That was two years ago... My other friends (especially the one with the brother) tend to call me to either hang out with him or to go with him to a SoCal Brony meetup... The frienquaintances are the only people (in terms of what you're wondering about) that I know when and where I'm going to meet with them every month...
Otherwise, I keep in contact with them through all either through e-mail, phone, and/or through Steam chat (to name the most common), so it's not like I'll ever forget them... In the immortal words of Leon from Kingdom Hearts:

I have a few people I know, but not in the tradional sense, meaning none my own age. I am in my early 20's and I don't know anyone else in their twenties. I used to have a few friends in my middle school days, but we have since drifted apart.
Now I either know people over the age of 35, or people under the age of 14. Most I consider family and I only see most of them once or twice a year. So I am pretty much a loner. I grew up with old folks, so I am more comfortable around older more mature people. I am also an only child.
So I could really say I don't have a friend in the world. The person I talk to the most is a member of the escapist, whom I speak to everyday online, but we live in different countries. Other than that I am very introverted, just the way I grew up I guess, in fact it runs in my family.
*Oh I live with a cat, she is my closest friend.

I'm the kind of nerd and computer science guy that is actually socially competent (read: I stare at the other person's feet instead of my own in conversation) and I currently have to choose between playing Borderlands 2 online with some friends from highschool or getting drunk and playing a Civ game with my friends here at my university. I have no idea what to do!
It's made me use an MLP gif, I can't stand MLP. AUGH!
