Games centre: Cannot Send Friend Requests

When I try to add a friend on my iphone 4 I get this:


"Games centre: Cannot Send Friend Requests

You are not allowed to send friend requests on this device"


Why not? How can I play a game against a friend?! How can I invite my friend?


Help please!!!!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4

I've done that. Now if I go to General>Settings>Game Centre I can only see:


Apple ID

Allow Invites

Nearby Players

Game Centre Profile

Contacts

Facebook


I swear before I reset I had an option to add friends but I can't find it now. If I go the the app (in this case "Fourinarow" and select the multiplayer online option and then try to invite a friend, firstly I can' see a list of anyone - but that's fine I presume as I've never used it before, but then if I search for my friends username ... nothing happens!

I had restrictions off as well. But I noticed that the friend requests toggle was off on the restrictions (even with restrictions off). So I enabled restrictions, toggled on the friend requests switch, then I was able to accept and send friend requests. I then went back and turned off the restrictions. So far it's working.
