[quote=Anonymous]Making friends is kind of like dating. It matters less where you meet but more that you click when you meet. There are some people you just easily get along with and want to get to know better.

I have 3 kids. I am friendly with their friends’ parents and we talk when we see one another but I do not consider any of these people friends.

Your kids are older but I met a lot of friends when my kids were toddlers and in preschool. I was in a few mom’s groups and clubs. There were lots of birthday parties and play dates. I have made friends from the pta. I volunteered and other moms worked the same station with me. One mom and I worked together to pick up hay bales one year and we just got along. Another time a mom and I ran a bingo table together and spent a few hours together. Our kids were in the same class and friends. Another mom had a girl in my son’s class. Our kids were never friends but I would see the mom at school events and now we are good friends even though our kids don’t even go to the same school anymore. Out of countless parties I have attended, I made one new good friend at a party of my husband’s friend. Her kid was friends with dh’s friend’s daughter. We  happen to sit at the same table eating and we chatted for 2 hours. We exchanged info and I met her best friend and she met one of my friends and we have been hanging out together.

I have never met a friend at exercise class but I have a friend who meets tons of friends on peloton.[/quote]
