Hi, I'm happily married with small kids but no close friends. I've had friends at times in the past but inevitably they've moved away and lost touch. I have acquaintances but struggle to find someone I click with. I always make an effort to chat at the park and at groups when we could go to those but i must give out the wrong vibes as i never really get past the surface chat. Once i arranged a walk in the park with another mum but i didn't hear from her again (i saw her a few times at the group where we met) though i know she had become friends with others who attended the group later. It felt like being dumped by a boyfriend! I struggle to find anything interesting to say to people until I know them and people rarely hang about long enough for that. Not sure how to change? I'm an older mum, 46. My husband has close friends and their partners are nice but we have little in common. Any advice? I'm tired of being lonely.
