I have the same problem!! I've already graduated and moved back home (which is in a different state from where I went to school) so I don't get to see the girls basically ever. FH and I talked about it before we got engaged, we both have a similar situation where we don't have many close close friends, and we decided to each ask one person. For him it was his brother and for me my big sis from my sorority.
I don't think you have to have a MOH at all! Some people don't even have a bridal party so really you can do whatever you want!
I wouldn't worry about it. Figure out what duties typically fall on the MOH, and either try to divy them up, or see if your mom can help with some etc.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm lucky in that my two best friends are both equally busy, so they're not offended that I don't have time to hang out often now that we live in different cities and I'm going to school and working. So we hang out a few times a month, but that's it, and they still both want to be my MOH... lol, not sure how that decision's going to go, but I think I know!
Anyway, if anyone asks why you don't have a MOH just say something like, "all of these ladies are equally important to me, and I couldn't choose between them, so they're all sharing the duties!"
I was in the same boat as well. FI is so shy and doesn't have a lot of close friends, aside from his brother. I have moved often (3 undergrad colleges and a 4th grad school), which makes it hard to devolop close friendships. Usually I have a few friends I spend time with then we drift once I move our circumstances change. So I don't have many close friends either.
I ended up asking my sister and step sister. My sister is probably who I am closest to aside from FI. I didn't differentiate a MOH though. I refer to them both as my "best girls". I just figured that my sisters would always be my sisters and I wouldn't regret who I asked. FI asked his brother, so we have a best man, two best girls. It's uneven and with no MOH and different dresses, but in the end neither of us care. You don't even need a bridal party at all if you don't want one. I view the bridal party as including the people that are your closest friends. The kind of people that you are pretty confident you will be close with in the future. Personally I don't think you have to do anything, or can't do anything when it comes to the bridal party.
I ahd the same problem. I don't have many close friends-except FI & I asked his sister & sister in law, 2 of my cousins & a family friend (who I've known forever) & my MOH was a youth leader I was really close to at the time. I honestly don't have a best girl friend anymore & it really makes sad that I don't have a really close friend for all the fun stuff. :(

okay so I dont know if anyone else has this problem.I've noticed there are a lot of girls who have a lot of friends and dont know who to choose to be MOH/Bridesmaids. I have the opposite problem. I really dont have any close friends anymore I mean my FI is my best friend we've been together for 6 years. I'm in college and I'd say the closest ppl are the ppl who I am in the same program with. I did ask 3 girls who I've known for years to be bridesmaids but I have no idea what to do about a MOH. Do you necessarily need a MOH?lol I've mentioned it to one of the girls about being MOH but she kind of just blew it off like she didnt wanna do it.
