I got this app to meet people and schedule play dates because I have no other children and don't know anyone with kids. I really want to expose my baby to others around same age but over 8 months using this, tons of conversations, and they all end up being one-sided and then I stop responding. There are play date fb groups, but all events for ages 4yr+. We've been to different libraries that have baby events, playgrounds, etc. and haven't met anyone with babies.
Second off topic vent: I asked for recommendations for a hairstylists in my area and I got a few, all recommended messaging on Instagram, so I did, and weeks later no responses.
I'm so lost. Where is everyone and what are they doing?? Losing my mind over here. 😭

I'm pretty bad at not responding, and I dont mean to. I'm just usually not one for conversations and I'm trying to be better at it but it's hard especially since now 8 month old son is teething alot, very clingy and attached to my hip 24/7 basically. I just never really have the time to respond and I feel so bad and awful but I'm trying to be better at responding.

Trying to make mom friend is so hard. I’ve been trying to get walking groups together, post hey we’re going to play here today if anyone wants to join and nothing. I get we’re all busy with kids cuz same but if you’re going to the park anyways, let’s all go. My mom always told us if you want friends you have to be a friend so I’m just gonna keep putting myself out there until it clicks with the right person.
