Why don’t moms exchange numbers at the parks anymore?

Now a days you don't know who to trust and also I'm really shy
You are so right. I'm shy and never been the outgoing/friend-making type 😬
You’re so right. Lol. I’m the type of mom that will ask but never follow up on play dates. 🤦🏽♀️
Now a days it’s hard to trust people i wish that it was still like this!
I do 😂 if I have a connection I have no issue, but now a days I meet more people on Facebook groups so we are friends on Facebook first
I dont exchange numbers but I always talk to other parents at the park of library. My daughter is only one though, I feel like I see parents with babies talk more than parents with older children
Personally it's because I'm an introvert waiting for someone to adopt me 🤣😅
For me anxiety stops me
I'm with you girl!! I want to have mom friends as well as friends for my boys. I go out my way to talk and get the same. It's very sad and disheartening. We expect our kids to be friends and friendly but what about the parents!? What kind of example are we setting by being this way at the park?
If it's just me and one other mom, I'm more likely to exchange numbers. I've gotten 2 since we recently moved to a different state!
Some do, but I agree it’s rarer. I’ve received a few numbers from moms at parks & made friends with 1 of them.
Also bc everyone is head in their phone now at the park. Nobody is paying attention to other people or aware of possible friends sitting or standing right in front of or near them
@Alondra facts!
I have had a few short but good conversations with moms at library events and group classes and as much as I would love to have kept in touch it just felt awkward asking for contact info because we were in a group setting. When I approach moms one on one at the park it has never once gone well. I usually get a look of "why are you talking to me?" Or just brief 1 word answers that make it obvious they don't want to chat. I have been lucky to meet a Mom friend on this app and I also have some old friends with older children that my kiddo loves to play with. I do feel that using an app like this is easier sometimes than in person because you know up front that you are both looking for a friend.

I tried this and was denied ... never did it again
I give my number out to basically any mom that my kids are friendly with or try to play with on a daily basis my way of thinking is that what's the harm in giving out your number what are they going to do just throw it out or maybe they'll actually text you so I tend to go towards thinking positively and say fuck it I'm just going to give out my phone number to whatever my friends I have or want to make and pray for the best
I totally agree! Every time I start a conversation, it's either like an interview or there's no response that's why I downloaded peanut!
Peanut can b like that too sometimes
@Deanna Marie Unfortunately, that's also true...
@Marilena I'm sry to admit it but I had to say it
I talk and I give and get numbers. I’m the change I want to see. I also acknowledge I won’t gel with everyone and that’s perfect.
