Do people really want to make friends?

I feel the same sometimes. I have been left on read so many times. However I know that not all of them do it on purpose.

I've only been using the app a few weeks, I'm due in September, but it feels more like conversations are forced on here. I've thought a few times about just leaving the app and hopefully making friends at baby classes instead, that way you can interact in person from the start and it feel more natural.

Im happy to make friends on here. I can’t see waves, but you can send me a message if you like xx

Personally I like this app more for the advice and conversations in these groups over one on one chat. I struggle a lot with replying to my friends and family as it is, without adding additional messages here.

I did use the swipe function at first when I was on mat leave and had more time, but messages felt daunting so I stopped swiping people and now just use channels.

I know its not technically the intended use of the app but it works for me, and I do think there's still value in my approach

It's like online dating isn't it? 😭 Ghosting is rife

I only joined the app to track my pregnancy then realised there were different groups. I personally only use it for info and sharing advice and experiences rather than making connections.
