[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks for your replies.  I'm not sure what my husband's personality has to do with anything as we're not trying to make couple friends or family friends.  I'm trying to make female friends for myself.  Many of these casual friends/acquaintances are either from church, from meetup groups, or from the moms of my kids' friends.  It seems they are not interested in going from casual friends/acquaintances to close friends.  Why is this and what am I doing wrong?  How can I fix it?

We seem to have a lot in common.  I also see them often enough at various events, etc. and make it clear that I'd like to be closer friends by remembering important details about them and asking about it later, taking them out for their birthdays, texting them occasionally to check in and say hi.

One thing I recently noticed is that when my kids have had their birthday parties, none of the moms go--only the dads, who either drop off or stay.  At the other kids' birthday parties I've been to this year, it's almost all the moms that have gone.  I feel that this is another indication that the moms don't have any interest in getting to know me better.

And yes, my husband is my best friend but he does not want to go out for tea, go for a spa day, get nails done, do paint and sip events, go on long walks, take yoga classes, or go to art museums with me.  I'd like to have closer female friends to do some of these things with.  Instead I have no one to do things with in general so I do everything alone.  We have no local family either, and I work from home.  I also only have sons, who would not be interested in any of these things.

I feel lonely a lot.  How can I improve this situation?[/quote]
