Asking friends for lives

When I try to send the requests the page doesn't send it just keeps saying check who you want to ask neither all friends or farm friends sends

Omg yes I did get beans and you can make or join a group but no one else in the group are playing I got beans instead of a life smh but yesterday I did get the life sent by the one person who gave me a life what made it worse was there was five of the twelve group playing and only one gave me a life I gave anyone who asked one so I've had to leave lots of groups and I hope I can either get enough players to make a good group I don't know but I earned three quarters of the crystals and no one else was playing then one person started to play and we made it past the first level but I would like to find other people like me who actually play and help each other! Otherwise what's the sense?
