But the meaning of oblige is 'To make indebted or grateful or favor'.

Please do not feel I am teaching you.What I feel about the very sentence is 'I am asking the other person to do me a favor by being my friend.

You feel wrong. The meaning is as I have said. It asks whether friendship is a requirement. It is a complaint.

Mr. Micawber is quite right; the sentence you posted does not mean what you want it to mean. What you are trying to say is "Would you oblige me by being my friend?"
