As you get into your late 20s and early 30s most people are looking to get married if they haven't already. At that point social life is going to mostly turn into family, wife, kids and work related friends. I'm 32 and recently married and I find it very hard to justify spending much of my time socializing outside of those above contexts. It's often nothing personal and from my own perspective I would actually like to have more friends but after going through a lot of friends over the years it's proven to be rarely worth the long term investment. I'm not going to chase down others to get together and they likewise. There probably isn't a whole lot wrong with you and judging by the desperation at which people try to gain attention on social networks it seems like far more people are lonely then they openly admit - in other words you aren't alone. If you really want to give it a go to gain more friends I would suggest looking for social groups with shared interests, such as recreational sports teams, programming meetups, or whatever you personally like. Attend events that you have interests in, travel by yourself (I used to all the time in my early 20s) and in general just try to make yourself a bit more interesting. Learn to pick up on social cues better, focus on listening rather than talking and go out of your way to help people that you aren't even that close with in simple ways. Online dating is also a good way to meet new people and practice social skills without much risk (you can cut off contact at any point).
