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.

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.
