Here's one method (derived from Stu the Cockatoo is new at the Zoo).
how do I get friends

i do actually finish my games
Nuh-uh. Your last 10 games were under 10 moves each. Losing on time is not finishing.

And although I do NOT recommend this as you will get a lot of creepy people messaging you, if you want lots of friends just put a picture of a pretty girl as your avatar. I just get horse fetishists but I can live with that.
just saying, I did not have enough vacation time because I went camping for two weeks and I can't upgrade
I do not know anybody on this website so how do you find friends
