I moved from Kansas to Boston, almost a year ago and I’ve made no mom friends. I’m not socially awkward and I don’t usually have a hard time making friends, But for some reason, I cannot find a single woman to be-friend here. Where do I go? How do I look? 😂 I’m bored. I need someone to go on playdates with, and other fun adventures!!!

I have the exact same problem 😭 I'm not working and am the only young momma in my friend group and family. I'm not an awkward person and I'm outgoing. I'm that versatile friend I'm down for church or a drink just lmk when 😂 idk why I'm struggling to meet new mommas.

I'm an introvert, but I've made mum friends at the playground, and with school mums.
I just talk to people, ask them about themselves, share stories, etc...
I've asked if they're on social media, and added them...
You gotta be a bit bold, and be ok with a few misses here and there

Try checking if your local library or surrounding libraries host play dates,
or free activities for little ones. I went this week and saw other moms, but ima try to keep going to see if I make friends.

On ig I looked up the mom groups + my city. I haven’t really made like a friend friend that I hang out with all the time yet but I’ve met a lot of moms and getting to talk to other moms definitely has helped my confidence because I’m autistic and really shy. So maybe try looking for local mom groups and it may take awhile but I’m sure we’ll find moms to bond with and be close with (at least that’s what I’m hoping 😭)

The mom walk has a ton of groups in a lot of cities you can see if there’s a group close to you

Honestly I feel like that’s a Boston problem. I’ve never had a problem making friends. I have social hobbies and I moved to Boston for a professional program so I had a cohort of fellow students to meet and get to know. I lived there for 2 years and tried my hardest to make friends and I left without having made a single one. I moved to rural Maine and was able to scrap together a whole community within a year during the pandemic when everyone was on lockdown. Not to discourage you but Boston is a tough nut to crack! It’s NOT you, it’s them. I second the library events recc. I’ve met a lot of moms who come regularly to a weekly toy hour at ours

Im in nh!!!!!!

Hey! I’m not in Boston but I’m in southern NH. I’m always try to make mom friends. I am not very approachable since I have RBF. I even ran into my daughter school friend and didn’t even really talk to the mom it was kinda awkward.

I’m from Boston but I don’t currently live there but I do go to Boston a lot bc of family
