[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Also wanted to add that I mainly try to make friends with other newcomers to the area, like myself.  I find that usually they are more interested in making friends, and have room in their lives for friends, whereas locals usually have strong social circles already.

However, even trying to make friends with newcomers doesn't work for me as much as I'd like.  Recently I tried to make friends with 2 moms in a meetup group I'm a member of, who just moved to the area a month ago, and neither were interested (I invited them to the park with my child and they ignored the invitation).

Basically, I invite moms to do things all the time, and most of the time I am ignored.  I don't know why this always happens to me.  I'm just not someone who seems like a good potential friend I guess.  But I don't know what I'm doing wrong to turn people off so many times.  I have made a few friends in the last year, so I know it's not because everyone dislikes me, but I need more friends and I have always found it very hard to make friends (after college.  It was easy to make friends in college/grad school).

People just seem to take a disliking to me, I guess.  It makes me sad.  I'm a nice person, a good mom, a good wife, drama free, a good conversationalist, genuinely interested in others, and just enjoy going out and having fun.  Would love to make more friends to go out and have fun times together.  [/quote]

It's just that you reek of desperation.[/quote]

Inviting someone to do something equals reeking of desperation?  If someone invited me to do something I'd be thrilled, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that they are desperate to make a friend.

If I get the sense that they are not interested, or they just ignore my invitation, then I move on.  Desperation, to me, is someone who would keep on inviting over and over and trying to be friendly with someone who has made it clear that they are not interested.  That is not me at all.[/quote]
