I’ve noticed that when it comes to attempting to make friendships here a lot of women expect you to be the one to message first, they expect you to initiate all conversations or keep them interesting and you have to make plans. It’s not a two way street and I find it beyond strange.
Have you had that experience?

Perhaps there’s a collective experience that everyone is projecting from, collective experience of putting effort in but not receiving it back so then they wait for the other person to make effort to show either that or they don’t care but the former explanation is what keeps my sanity intact and cause I try and understand people 🤷🏽♀️
Just to offer a different perspective but I completely understand what you’re saying

Sometimes yes xD then they ghost you

I regularly say making new friends as an adult, feels like dating in MANY ways. 😅👏🏻

Sometimes yeah but I have met the 2-3 that I really needed in my life and they check up and invite me out and invite me over for a group lunch or dinner. Keep trying to reach out and you will find the someone that is proactive and returns the same energy. Because I like to go out and take my kids out, i attract others similar to me who relate to my profile/pics so if they invite me Ikea or beach they’d know I’d come.
