[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just being active in the class group does not mean they pay attention to random messages on WhatsApp. This happened to me once and the mom was like “OMG I missed that. Please text me instead!” We all have too many damn apps.[/quote]

+1, I automatically delete messages from unidentified phone numbers on WhatsApp without reading them because they are usually spam. If someone's not in my contacts, they cannot message me via WhatsApp in an introductory way.

I think you should not give up and continue to try and connect with other moms, and then when you feel comfortable, ask one of them in person if you can connect via text. Exchange numbers in person and then you'll be in one another's contacts. WhatsApp just isn't good for what you are using it for, and it's possible that their interaction with you on that one day didn't make enough of an impression for them to hone in on you. I wouldn't take that personally -- you are actively looking to meet people but they already mostly know people and have been at the school for years. So they aren't approaching it as purposefully as you are. It's not a personal slight.[/quote]
