[quote=Anonymous]I think a more relevant metric than your age is the age of your kids. I think that's a bigger driver in determining friendships. I am mid-40s with elementary school aged kids. The majority of my friends in my daily life are about 5-10 years younger than me (parents of kids friends) or 10 years older (friends who never had kids). I also approach it like dating if I think I might like someone I will give my number/ask for theirs then start randomly sharing silly things. I also probably throw out 5-6 invitations to do things for every 1 invite that gets a yes (and half the time that gets rescheduled). I really try to pick on vibes of whether the person is not interested in friendship/not a good match or if they are genuinely busy and if the latter I keep asking. I just happen to be more organized and driven and people really appreciate it and I've helped some groups of friends gel this way. But it is work!!![/quote]
