Hello

I started a thread (randomly) in relationships, because I am hopeful that there is a way for MNers in need to get some RL support from other MNers.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/1426504-When-you-need-a-RL-friend?pg=2

Is this something MNHQ could help with or support in any way?

Thanks

Lovely idea :)

Yes in principle.

I've been a bit concerned recently, however, by the number of times MNrs have spotted trolls where I am obviously v naive and believe what people say.

So somehow there needs to be both caution on the side of the listener and obvious spots from either MNHQ or someone experienced.

yes yes yes, i'm up for this and it would be a nice thing to do whilst on maternity leave as i'd have more time for coffees and to be honest would appreciate the company myself.

would need to know rough location (say first half of postcode?) of the MNer looking for a meet up. I can think of 2 ways it might work - firstly the person wanting to meet a RL person could request it and others could offer to meet, or alternatively people willing to meet in RL could offer times / rough locations and people wanting to take them up on it could "accept". suspect the second route is more likely to get people to actually ask for help as that is the most difficult bit of it i think.
