Honest question 🥹 Does anyone else find it hard to make real mom friends on here? Some moms have messaged me, but many conversations stop at “hi, how are you?” 😂 I’d love to find a real connection with someone to talk, share, and support each other through motherhood. 💕 I speak Spanish and I’m learning English. 🤍

I feel you on that..

Yeah 😅 it’s not easy to find someone 😭

Absolutely. I'm trying though🌹

yep true

Hi mama, someone recently asked the question whether mamas really wanted to make friends because of the same reason! They come on but never follow through on responding and building a meaningful relationship together!
Nonetheless, I have made 3 good friends on here.

yes! it really was hard for me so i stopped swiping or trying to chat, I just wait now to see if anyone has

I'm finding it hard to start a conversation 😕 I don't want to start with the usual boring stuff.. I'm so much better to talk to in person!

Honestly this a fact. I have message /got like 20 messages. From different people and it always stops at how are you or how’s your pregnancy going

I would like to make a few friends. I feel like it's hard to make friends because they rather be with family and don't reach out to do anything. I'm always trying to initiate and that makes me feel bad and not wanted in a friendship.

Always it’s my 3rd time on here trying and it’s like super dead .. almost a waist in my opinion

Yessss

Honestly, making friends on this app doesn't work.🤷♀️

Yes 100%, I’ve talked to one person on here that I have had a solid conversation with and talk to outside of the app on Snapchat but we don’t hangout because of distance

Relationships are difficult in general. Practice asking deeper questions- notice something they wrote on their profile and ask them about it. Ask their opinions and experience in different areas of life- parenting style, why they moved to the area they live in, what activities do they enjoy doing, what’s something they are passionate about, what was their childhood like and how are they changing the way they parent vs how they were parented. You have to be willing to ask those deeper more intentional questions even if it’s awkward messaging with a stranger

I have messaged so many women and it’s stops at a hi how are u doing I don’t care if it’s long distance friendship we moms that’s going through a lot and need a village of other moms get together I’m open to chat to women younger or my age or older let’s come together make a group chat talk I live in Chicago we can hang out

yes its very hard. ive made a few but it normally ends with us stop stalking after a week or two

I have always had a hard time making friend in general. I feel awkward and like im not very well liked 😅 (comes from trauma tbh) but i genuinely want to have friendships. Like it would be nice to hangout with mommy friends but also even if long distance I just want a genuine friendship with moms

I thought it was just me that felt it was hard to make a connection

I try and be optimistic about making mom friends but honestly most of you intimidate me 🥲
