[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you made new close friends after age 45, how did you meet them?

I have tried everything over the past five years: meetup groups, book club, boutique exercise studio, religious congregation, inviting moms from school out to do things, taking hobby/interest classes and nothing works.  I've made a few acquaintances but no friends.  And these friendships are always one-sided, with me doing all the inviting and no reciprocation/them not having an interest in keeping in touch.  I can't remember the last time someone invited me to do something or texted me to see how my week was going.

Where can a 45 year old married mom make new friends?  Ideally they would be in a similar life stage/similar kid ages, but I'm open to single/non-parent friends as well.

I thought meetup groups would be the answer, but that hasn't worked out for me (and I'm in several groups).  Moms from school have no interest in being friends with me.

I'm going to look into a weekly knitting circle, but the one I tried a few months ago was only women 70 and older.

Would love to hear thoughts.[/quote]

Community theater. It throws you into a group of people for 2-3 hours multiple times a week. You are all working towards the same goal. Usually lots of laughter, and a high return rate for the next show. [/quote]
