Recently I just moved to the Allen area. The problem is I am not a social butterfly like my Hubby is. I don't have any girlfriends here to talk to. How do I make more friends that I can trust? I just don't know how to make friends anymore! I am a pretty shy person...but I've gotten a lot better! I don't really start conversations with others, I just wait for someone to start talking to me...then I'm just fine. I think I'm just getting to the point where I need someone else to talk to in town! My husband is my best friend and I know I can talk to him about anything...even this...but, I'm starting to want someone else to chat with or do things with. Talking on the phone just isn't the same! Can anyone give me any advice? And...are there other moms out there like me? Is it hard to make friends for other people too? I mean, I'm in my 20's ...I should know how to do it by now!!! I prefer older friends. I don't really get along with women my age. But then again I have never had a friend my age that has chilren. My Hubby is 35 and I am 24. I have a 4 year old daughter who turned 4 this spring.
Would love to get out, go to lunch, shop,meet at the gym, play date,work out buddy.. Something!!!
Thanks for listening mommas.
I was looking for some new friends also, especially mommy friends. I posted something on here and someone responded and told me about meetup.com. I've made several hopefully lifelong friends with kids the same age as my daughter. I highly recommend this site! =) Did wonders with my social life and got me out of the house - I was starting to go insane being home all day every day - I'm a SAHM.
Hope this helps and you meet some great friends!
You just took the first step! Welcome to the area.
What about your neighbors? Do they have a bunko group or something like that. Our neighborhood (Suncreek) has a website and a lot of opportunities for new people to meet and greet.
I am in Allen and we love the Watters Creek area. They have live music on Thurs-Sat nights, very family oriented with lots of children around. My daughter is 15 and she volunteers at Watters Creek with her cheer squad for the kid days. August 14 is the next one. They also have a ladies night out.
Are y'all attending a good church? My church is fantastic about meeting people's needs. We do lots of social activities, and the women are NOT catty and clichy. In fact, if anyone does behave that way, they are called out on it. We have a forum where people throw out opportunities like playdates and such to see if anyone is interested in joining in.
If that's something you might be interested in, the church's website is genesismetro.org and the forum is gmlife.org.
Might try a local MOPS group. I have found mine to be very welcoming and encouraging.
My name is C.. I'm 37, my husband is 35 and our son is 6. We have lived in Allen for 10 years and really like the people. I dont have many social opportunities during the week, but tonight 7/13 (and most Tuesday nights) I have a "girls night out" with my Mary Kay unit. Tonight is our unit award night so there will be fun girl friend time, finger foods and make-overs. I figure it would be a great opportunity for you to meet ladies in the area. I know when you hear Mary Kay you probably think I want to sell you something, but it really is about the girlfriend time and meeting new people. I promise I wont try to sell you anything if you decide to go.. :-) If this sounds like something you would enjoy let me know and I will get you the address. It's from 7-9PM tonight. my email is ____@____.com
I've been living in Allen for about 3 years now and let me tell you...I'm just now meeting my neighbor. I don't know if it's because the people that live around me are much older than me and they don't want to have anything to do with us or what. I have a 3 year old son and I'm a SAHM as well. I would love to get to know you and we can have play dates with our kids.
If you are not doing anything tomorrow, I'm having a smoothie day at my house and talking about our children's nutrition and healthy ways to have them eat their fruits and vegetables. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you more information and if you can't attend, we can always meet up some other time.
Looking forward to hearing from you... ;D
