There is a local moms FB group I'm part of, but obviously you're not going to click with everyone - there needs to be some internet dating type site for friends, haha. I posted once on the FB group about looking for some moms to meet up with, but just glancing through the profiles of most that responded it was kind of...well, a lot of people I wouldn't have picked! That sounds horrible, but if your Facebook is either full of statuses 'that r typd out lyke ths' or you constantly hitting the share button on stuff that annoys the crap out of me, whether it's political things I don't agree with, false internet stories that you didn't take two seconds to google, or fear-mongering things saying I'm evil for vaccinating...maybe it's mean but I probably don't want to be mom friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924710 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 16:28:56 +0000 coopsmama 1924710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would absolutely do this! It can be so hard to meet mom friends when your children aren't school-age. In fact, I only have a few, and there aren't really any local mom groups to get plugged into. </p> <p>Actually, most of the women I know who are around my age don't even have kids yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924550 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:28:51 +0000 fairy 1924550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do this! I moved to my current town RIGHT before having my daughter, so I never got to make friends before being holed inside with a newborn. It really is like dating when you are trying to make new mom friends. I am in a local moms club and have gotten a bit closer to some of the moms there and I got all excited last week when one invited me over for a playdate haha I was like "yay I have a new friend!" and then felt like I was being weird lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924537 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:20:15 +0000 SouthPaw 1924537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: that would be awful if no one picked you... eeek.</p> <p>@youboots: So happy that you have someone you connect with and can share with!! Very nice!</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: It doesn't sound dorky at.all!!! My sister in law is my rock and now that we moved she's 3.5 hours away. We call/text often, I definitely miss seeing her in person more.</p> <p>@hotchildinthecity: I hope they do another one in NY so you can go!!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: If you find something similar in your area that would be great!! I feel like there are a lot of opportunities in my area I just don't hear about them until its too late... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924404 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:15:47 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1924404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally do this. I wonder if I can find a local one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924361 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:02:32 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1924361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally do this. I have several close friends, but only one of them is a parent and she lives several hours away. I would love to meet more mom friends in my area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924352 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:59:07 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1924352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it! I have a friend. One. That I can see in person ever. It sounds dorky as all get-out, but I would take another opportunity to maybe find someone I connect with. I seriously envy people with living, breathing friends that they do things with one a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924351 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:58:39 +0000 youboots 1924351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. I call her my lifemate. I found one of her designs on Pinterest several years ago, I'm a photographer and I hired her to be my graphic designer, we live 45 minutes apart. We were well established as best friends when she got pregnant. Now I'm 5 months along with my first and I don't know what I would do without her. I would totally speed date to meet other Moms.</p> <p>Love you @vegmama </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924337 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:54:17 +0000 Mamaof2 1924337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read about that before and it said at the end of the night you give your list of moms you want to meet up again with to the host and then they email out matches.</p> <p>OMG what if no one picked you??? Too stressful for me :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924320 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:46:43 +0000 SouthPaw 1924320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I lol'd at this because I feel like I would probably feel the same way! If there is another you should definitely go and tell me how awesome it was!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924317 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:45:06 +0000 mrsjazz 1924317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I received an invite to this. When I first saw it I laughed hysterically. But then I thought about how hard it is to make Mommy friends sometimes and thought it would be cool. But I didn't want to go alone and be a Mommy loser so I didn't go.</p> <p>I have lots of friends and friends who are mothers but they are scattered throughout the country and the city so it's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mommy-speed-dating#post-1924306 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:40:16 +0000 SouthPaw 1924306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this article and seriously WISH there was an event like this in my area. I find it so difficult to approach other moms or carry-on conversations to create a lasting connection. My friends are a year or two behind us so I am waiting patiently...</p> <p>Thought I would share this article =) Would YOU attend?? Are you lucky enough to have found your mother-soulmate? </p> <p><a href="http://nypost.com/2014/10/30/at-mommy-speed-date-moms-hope-to-meet-their-mother-soulmate/" rel="nofollow">http://nypost.com/2014/10/30/at-mommy-speed-date-moms-hope-to-meet-their-mother-soulmate/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-pregnant-ladies-or-moms-working-2-jobs#post-1109907 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:34:08 +0000 Coopersmama 1109907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't work two jobs, but I run my small business which is like working 24-7.
