list of barry allen’s friends pre-52:

hal jordan, his compete and total opposite. they once went camping together and barry bought a bathrobe and a framed photograph of his wife. hal didn't even bring a razor. barry is the one paying for his groceries each week because hal has nothing in his bank account and a credit score of zero. they're the only people in the jla with a functioning friendship that hasn't ended in bloodshed.

iris west, his wife. pretty much the only person in existence who he's comfortable with one hundred percent of the time. he was so scared to tell her he was the flash that she only found out because he confessed it to her in his sleep. and this was after they were already married. when she died, he attempted to murder her killer, and ultimately succeeded in throwing him into the abyss.

jay garrick, obligatory mentor figure. they go on double dinner dates together. barry owns every single comic book jay has ever appeared in and even has an entirely separate room in his house just for storing them. the place where they originally met was implied to have been turned into a strip club.

wally west, simultaneously a nephew and a son. each of them are so equally reverant over the other that it creates a blindside so wide that it jumps all the way into being unhealthy. everytime they die they hallucinate the other. when wally was a kid he thought barry was so boring that he tried to break him up with iris and set her up with the infinitely cooler flash, aka barry himself.

ralph dibny, gets his powers by drinking soda. i presume they bonded through their mutual obsession over a) their wives and b) how pumped they get over crime scenes. overall a pretty chill relationship. although ralph has, on several occassions, brought barry along on dates with his wife.

daphne dean, childhood friend turned movie star. they meet up once a year and spend it passing around awkward icebreakers.

al desmond, literal supervillain. enough said.
