I wonder...is this a sign that something else is wrong?
I know the way I meet friends is through my career. I go out to a gig, or to see a show (inevitably do some networking) and I'll meet a bunch of people (often colleagues), some of which eventually become my long-term friends. Things were much the same back in university.
Does your boyfriend have his own life? Does he have a job or go to school? Is he motivated to advance himself in whichever field he has or will choose? I find that friends are a side effect of these things. Perhaps you are worried that he is a lazy un-motivated bum.
I speak from experience. It took a while for my partner to find her own friends but now that she does, she's much more independent and happy. It allows us to each "bring more to the table" in our relationship.
