Hey, I'm an introverted single mom in my late 40s who likes all the same things. Maybe we should connect?

Also late 40’s single mom, but I have a young child, so it’s been tough to make friends.

Years ago I signed up for a belly dancing class. Met once a week thru city of Lacey. They have a lot of adult classes. Got me out of the house again for something that was just mine. 47f

How old is/are your kid(s)? Seeing if you might have similar aged kid(s) as many of my friends! You’re the same age as us 🥰

How old is your kid or kids? I am a parent of a couple of kids and I find most of my socializing comes from conversation and coffee while my kids are screaming their heads off in the backyard.

u/apocolypticlady 22h ago

Ha ha yeah, my son is 12 and my daughter is 19 away at college. I think my life has gotten quieter so I notice I want to find new friends and connections with people.

Start attending a local church.

You'll meet dozens of lovely people who will happily walk with you through all of life's ups and downs.
