I need to do something to make friends. I joined a sewing course but I ended up being the only adult (other than the tutor) with three teenage girls. It's still fun and I love going, but limited obviously in terms of friends. DD has two friends, both of who's moms I have met and had round for play dates and are very nice, but have established and full social lives / groups and don't seem likely to invite me round or join in. Ironically one of their husbands has already taken to DH and they've even been to the movies and stuff.
Our next door neighbours on both sides are very nice and I often pass the time of day when I see them out and about in the garden or park.
I'm normally pretty good at being personable and likeable and given how often we move etc etc, being able to make friends is a skill I have had plenty of practice with. But I seem to be floundering here. I find myself talking too much, not asking enough questions about the other person, or not talking at all. I just don't know what's wrong with me.
Right now DH and DD are in the playroom lounge having lunch and chatting. I have, on the other hand, moved one of the couches in the main lounge so I can sit behind it on the bean bag. There is a patch of sun here. But mostly, I just want to sit behind the couch. I am aware that this is not normal. Lol, DH has just come by and passed me a plate of lunch over the back of the couch. I said sorry, I know I'm being weird and he said, straight faced, are you? I love him.
I can't remember what the hell I was trying to say
