Making friends as an adult is hard. After moving to a new town, I actually tried to use the line, “I see you’re buying cheese too.” As an attempt to start a conversation in the grocery store. I’ve never seen someone scamper away so fast!
Why is this so relatable 😂
My super smooth opening line, “how old is s/he?”
Never fails
I am naturally introverted, but I also don’t make friends easily, so I identify with this 1000%. Plus dh and I were married 16 years before we were able to have kids, so most of the moms with kids my son’s age are a good decade younger than I am.
This is soooo me around my neighborhood complex lol
*pulls up picture* lookit. I made dis.
As soon as COVID is over I’ll be dropping this line left and right…
i cant wait to make mom friends after the pandemic!! it’s so close i can taste it. i just quit my job to be a sahm. really hoping i can make a friend with my lifestyle!!
This me.
I am so awkward that I would probably do this
Brah, my go to is ‘How old is your child?’ to start convo with strangers. I don’t know why since I hate small talk but eh new parenthood huh.
Seriously this! I just got back from being with my family over the holidays and so fucking lonely here. Also hard cause my remaining friends I have (age and relationships break them off) don’t really have kids or do non kid friendly things
With my desperate sleep deprived eyes, this is me. 😂😂
So lonely. I want a REAL friend; not somebody who is constantly comparing kids with me. I’m proud of my baby, but I want someone to pay attention to me, you know?
Indeed! Let us commence with the ritual of comparing our respective lack of sleep.
I would totally be mom friends with someone who said that to me lol
We have a lot of neighbors with kids but haven’t been able to befriend them. One couple in particular keeps waving at us whenever we are out, and we wave and we wanna be friends, but pandemic and don’t wanna go over there. Once this is over we can go back to being social butterflies.
