Hi
Well he talks to you online so he has got spare time.
As for his social life, you should be pleased he's busy, he has asked you to join them too which is great.In time if it develops he would want to spend time with you alone I bet.
Its very early days so either give him a fair chance or find a man who suits you better.Nobody is perfect but its down to what you find acceptable in the end.

Yes he has many friends and you've said he sees them on the weekends, but who is to say that this won't change when he's with you and you guys become an official item?He maybe spend less time with them and more with you because he's starting to settle down.I am sure it won't be a forever thing it's good he's seeing friends now an good he invited you, but as the relationship progresses him hanging out with friends over the weekend all the time may tone down more as he starts to spend more and more time with you.

Honestly, if him having so many friends is an issue for you before you have even been on a proper date or spent any quality time with him, I'd say the relationship is doomed.
It's not reasonable to meet someone and then immediately try to change them or their behaviour...the trick is to observe and spend time with the person and then decide if you have anything in common with them before you even start thinking about a long term thing.
He's been nice and invited you along to meet his friends, maybe he'd like to see if you fit his ideals before he gets heavy.
I'd go, meet his friends, see how it goes, but if you think he isn't compatible with you, then move on.
