A very good question, but the Bible doesn't give us any specific details between Him at age 12 to age 30. We do have some clues that He was at least familiar with the games children played (We played the flute, etc, meaning the children who played "wedding", and we sang a dirge or mourned, meaning they played "funeral").
Certainly we won't be able to comprehend the culture or society of the time, except from glimpses as written down by historians (Josephus, e.g.) So it's safe to say He did have some friends or acquaintances--how else would people recognize Him, later, as "the carpenter's son" or "the son of Joseph"--but if He did have any close friends, we'll never know.

The only record of Jesus as a child was at his birth, when they moved and the wise men came when he was a small child and the King ordered the death of all small children hoping to kill him in the group but they managed to excape. Then there is the mention of him at the temple with the priests and pharocies when his parents had left him accidently and had to come back to get him. We know he grew up in his father's carpenter business and learned that as a trade.
I think you can assume he had friends but I don't believe he had a girlfriend a because that was not the way the jewish culter worked. People didn't date and have girl/boy friends. Children were sometimes from birth paired up for marriage as adults. Jesus's parents knew he was the Son of God from conception. I believe God spoke with Jesus as he grew and Jesus followed the voice of God.

We Know absolutely Nothing about His Teenage, and Early adulthood. Some say He spend Some time traveling, But Nothing Concrete. He However had a Reported Childhood Friend Named Lazarus.

Some scholars think that Mary Magdalene may have been very close to Jesus. He did appear to her first, after his resurrection. It would be hard to believe that He did not have feelings for any women- after all, He was a human being and a guy. But even if He did consider Mary His girlfriend, their relationship was quite pure, since the scripture says He was without sin.

According to the bible Jesus had many friends that were girls, but not what we would call a girlfriend in todays terms.As Jesus grew up,he was human,he felt the way we do and i am sure he had to resist the certain temptations that were in his time. But,like I said ,he knew what His job was to do on earth and was perfect, never sinned.Therefore he may have had many girls that were friends,ex. Mary Magdelane, but not to the point where He would ever be distracted from His prime directive so to speak.

I have never read anything about him having a girlfriend except possible Mary Magdalene. The bible excludes his younger years and much is held in the Roman Vatican City Library. I have read that after age 13 when he became a man in Jewish tradition, he traveled with the Magi to many places on a caravan and learned many things.
Jesus to my knowledge was a virgin when he died. He kept himself from carnal relationships his whole life. This is why they say he was as pure as a pure lamb.

He was God in the flesh. The Bible says he was tempted but remained sinless. God sent Jesus to earth because we needed a pure sacrifice for all of our sins. A final sacrifice so we no longer had to offer up a burnt sacrifice Because our sin was getting so out of control that they were not enough.

There was nothing recorded of the sort. However, the bible does say that Jesus was tempted in every way that men are accept He never sinned.

He was way too busy.
When he was 12 years old he was missing for three days, and was finally found talking with the elders, and asked his parents why they were looking for him because they should have known that he was about his Father's business.

There is no record of his teenage years in any non-apocryphal gospel...but we can be sure that He was like any teenager...His "preaching ministry" didn't really start until He turned 30.
