Why are we getting ghosted? 💁‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Is it only me or are you other mums getting ignored/ghosted in conversations? 😞🤔 I'm on here for 1 reason and 1 reason only to make some friends 🧡 why is it sooo hard?! And it's not the excuse of "mums" being busy I've had the same on BFF bumble. How are u supposed to make friends if no1 asks u anything 😔 or keeps the convo going? 🤷‍♀️ what u on here for??? 😂 #ThatsMyRant

If you'd like to message me I'd be more than happy to get to know you and see if we connect lovely. I've had the same issue🫶

Same, I've found this app quite difficult to make connections. The groups are good for advice but in terms of making mum friends not great x

@Claire I hear ya girl

I had the app a few years ago when I had my first and it was the same then, I ended up deleting it. I thought it was just me 😂

Oh I've had it 2 years and it's been like pulling teeth 😬

Same problem 🥲

Hey, you were part of a big group chat with all of us who were always speaking and making conversation! I'm sure you met a couple of them too. So we weren't the ghosters, that group is still going strong!

Yeah I'm finding it hard to make friends on this app due to being ignored, feel free to message me xxx

My issues has been I’ll write paragraphs and I get only a sentence back. Then the conversation dies because I feel like they either don’t want to get to know me or they are not interested. I’m here for friends but I honestly feel like some of these girls aren’t. When I say I had 0 friends I truly mean that. It’s not like I had friends and just wanted some spare. I’m glad to know it’s not just me.

I know the feeling all too well. Message me if you want 😊❤️

This is the only app I’ve ever used to meet ppl online cuz I’m a mom now & there is no way for me to meet ppl in real life. So I joined this app so I can be intentional abt making friendships bt what I’ve learned from online connections is a lot of ppl don’t “value” the connection. I don’t even know how ppl do online dating cuz if this is what’s it’s like for me trying to find mom friends I wonder what it’s like for ppl trying to find romantic connections. When I go to the park & meet a mom in real life, we tend to have more of a rapport bt whenever I meet some1 online I’m treated like I’m disposable. It’s very sad cuz I’m the same person online as I am in real life bt as I said I jus noticed that the ppl I meet online can jus ghost or stop talking to me bt the ppl I meet in real life treat me much better. It’s jus interesting, cuz Idk I think maybe these apps make ppl feel like they can jus others like robots not humans

@Cass I understand bt I think instead of ghosting, It’s best to just honestly communicate to the other girlie & tell them that the friendship isn’t gonna go anywhere. I don’t want to get ghosted so as a girlie who ghosts a lot; what do u suggest we do to not get ghosted? I’m just curious 😭 cuz I wud never ghost 👻 bt I do see that it’s a thing that ppl do. Bt jus wondering what wud make some1 ghost

When I was pregnant I made a similar post and the responses were that moms get busy and have lives. I understand that but being ghosted for months or weeks doesn’t seem fair to me. If ur too busy to make friends maybe put in ur bio that ur only here for the groups & not to make friends.

@Bella love this! I’ve always said I know we all get busy my evenings are crazy with dinner and taking care of my son etc and even sometimes in the daytime. But it literally blows my mind to have conversations and the person says “oh sorry I forgot about this app” how the he!! do you forget about a conversation that you are having with someone. Then reply weeks later. If I’m having a conversation with someone I can’t wait for them to reply! Also I feel like if people are on this app to make friends and are that dang busy maybe they shouldn’t be on the app. Lol

@Brittyk92 I definitely get people saying I forgot about this app a lot too. Like do you not have notifications on and I consciously got this app knowing I wanna make plans so it’s weird to think that people get this app to supposedly make friends and then forget about it.

It is difficult to make friends in here they talk for a few min then they ignore ur messages or they ask for ur number they stop messaging u can txt me if u like to be friends

I also must add! That there’s times I’ve tried giving people the benefit of the doubt thinking it maybe bc they are shy & they don’t know what to say so I’ll try to keep the conversation going even if I get a few words back but after so many times of just getting a few words I get sick of telling about myself and then you tell me nothing. I give plenty of conversation for someone to have something to write back to so I know I’m not a boring talker. Sometimes I think it may be because I talk too much. Lol It doesn’t bother me if they don’t message me back anymore because then it’s just not meant to be, but I’d love to find somebody that I connect with that I could talk to that & understands we get busy and it may take us a little bit to text back at times, but that we will reply and hold a conversation. I won’t be having an in-depth conversation with you and then forget about you until weeks later. 😂😂

@Brittyk92 Okay. I like you already 😁 Took my time to read every word you had to say. I’m sending you a message because I definitely want to be in your corner.

I’ve had the same happen. Harder than dating site 😂

I noticed this but thought maybe some moms are busy working or perhaps met other friends outside the app.

I have trouble maintaining conversation so usually I don’t get past the first hellos

Yep 😭

Yes, I have not met anyone on here since I was pregnant 4 years ago… I get a great conversation with someone and then they just suddenly do not reply anymore… I just wish that people were just honest and say sorry, you are not my person/or I am looking for something else… instead of ghosting… It makes me feel bad about myself… I would not do that to anyone. I always reply and I am always the last one to message back… Please ladies do be honest and reply to say what you think… is better than ghosting!!!
