Not sure about this...

Welcome. What do you seem to be having issues with?

I cannot figure out how to make friend requests etc

If you click on someone's username (or photo) it will take you to their profile and there will be a big green button that says "Add as friend", or on the mobile app a little blue person icon to add someone.

Alternatively, you can go here (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/user/search) and find other people.
