Really struggle with female friends

[JC2021]

I’m always the one arranging to meet up, hang out or do stuff.. I’ve stopped this over the past few years and had nothing back.. it’s frustrating and disappointing- since having my son and moving my so called friends have made no effort.. I’m struggling to meet and maintain New mum friendships - I meet a lot of new mums and am chatty but it never seems to go further than the kids playing in the park when I see them.. have swapped numbers with a few but not sure there’s anything in common other than kids - that’s a big one I know..

I’m thinking of setting up a new meet-up style group for my area.. I never want to look desperate but really hope I can find my tribe soon..

I need more strong, fun, supportive, creative women in my life..

Someone like Adele would be an amazing mate I reckon 🙏😂

Peanut?

You sound lovely OP and hope you meet some like minded friends soon

If it’s any consolation OP, I felt totally like you and then by chance went to a meet-up- met 2 lovely ladies who I clicked with hugely in 2017 and they also then linked up with 2 more and the 4 of us are firm friends- we are abroad at the moment and I miss them hugely

I think a meet up style group is a great idea as I'm sure there are other mums out there feeling like you. What I find is that when you move into a new area you will find that some people's lives are already full especially if they live in the area they grew up in as they'll have school friends and family and no room for new friends. And then you find other people in the same boat as you who don't have existing friends and family on tap and therefore they're up for making new friends. I think starting a meet up for other mums would be a good way to find those people.
