Steps of actually becoming “mum friends” 😆😆

Out of so many acquaintances met on mat leave I was thinking about the ones I’ve actually become friends with and some I’d like to become proper friends with. I think these are the steps from acquaintances to friends in my experience, would love to hear your thoughts

1 - sharing phone number or following each other on Insta
2 - setting a time to meet (1:1 or group setting but has to be Outside of any already shared activity like baby classes)
3 - start calling each other by their actual name
4 - hugging

Idk why the name thing is such a big deal but I recently realized I don’t call any of my acquaintances by their name, only friends!

What do you call acquaintances?

Avatar

I just don’t say their names for some reason. So for example where for a friend I would say like Hey Anna do you want to go xyz, for an acquaintance I’d say hey do you want to go xyz

Im cool with everything except 4 lol I have to be friends with someone for a long time before we’re hugging unless I’m congratulating them or consoling them

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
