I'm the mom that is friendly and always approachable but can't get past small talk. I think I might be boring. Any advice? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Ask someone out for coffee or a cocktail one-on-one. The halls or lobby of the school is not really conducive to personal connection. [ Reply | More ]

I'm not sure. I think deep friendship requires shared experiences and that requires time. [ Reply | More ]

There is a wide range of emotional intimacy between small talk and deep friendship. Take it one step at a time. [ Reply | More ]

Become un-boring. It's hard when you have little kids. I am super boring right now and I warn my friends before we get together to catch up that I have very little to report because all I do each day is commute, work, and take care of toddlers. We are starting to branch out with little vacations and one-off teaser classes. I'll go to a show if I can scrape the money together. I can't handle reading books right now; I'm always reading work emails. I COULD talk about the news but none of my friends ever want to talk about politics or societal issues. So... boring.

+1, parents of young kids are generally boring as hell. I count myself in that category. Coming out of a bit now (youngest is 8 yo). [ Reply | More ]
