Does anyone else feel like people sometimes use them to network to make new friends? Recently at the school gates where dd has just started school, it's happening every day, several people I know and even a couple of good friends seem to be trying to collect friends through me, heard this kind of thing called leapfrogging or even friend stealing before? Which makes me sound and feel like a total paranoid school girl myself which I hate. But one lady has even walked up to me and asked for an introduction twice now to someone I'm talking to, then cut me out of the conversation, she only comes over if I'm talking to someone she doesn't know. Next day a different v good friend of mine had swapped numbers with another friend I know after I introduced them and was then asking me the name of another lady I know "so she can chat to her the next day", a couple of friends have been sending fb friend requests to people I've introduced them to... Am I being paranoid, is this just how the school mum thing works?!
