6 year old doesn't like my new friend's child

Looking for a bit of advice...I am a single parent with a 6 year old and moved to a new area about 2 years ago. We have some friends through school now but haven't met any other single parents in my 6 year olds class. Recently I met a single mum with a 6 year old and get on really well but my child doesn't like her child. We were looking to plan some trips away this year and they live really close by. I feel so torn as my child doesn't want to spend time with them and I was really looking forward to booking trips away and doing lots of activities all together. Any experience of best approach would be v much appreciated...

You can’t force them to be friends.

If your going to do things with the children don’t do things that involve them having to play together (so things like soft play where they can go their own way)

Overtime they may start to like each other but don’t do things which make it uncomfy for them.
