[quote=Anonymous]I'm socially awkward as well. I don't like small talk or being around people I don't know well. The very first playdate was weird. We just kinda sat and stared at each other. I think I pretended to be interested in their conversation well enough because they invited us to another one. Usually you just approach the parent and ask. You could invite two kids just to split the stress. Some parents will stay if they want to get to know you. Others will jump at the chance of free time, and you'll have to hope they come back. It just depends. Ask the teacher to pass your message along. That's how we got invited. I think DD's teacher picked up on my awkwardness, so she did the leg work for me. [/quote]
