I've noticed that most of my deepest friendships are all from my college years... plus I've made some close parent friends since having the kids (including on Hellobee!).
I'd love to have more time for great and deep friendships, but it's been tough to do that while juggling everything else. But it's something I really want to focus on in the next year!
Are you still making new deep friendships these days?

I've met some girls recently that I can see myself growing old with!

I'm really liking the new relationships I've made on mat leave. In the four years I've lived in Canada, this is the first where I've felt that I have my own friends. It's a heck of a lot easier making friends now than it was prebaby/post college.

Nope 
I feel like the older I get, the harder it is to make true, deep friendships.

Nope, but I really wish I were! I'm hoping as DS gets older and more involved in activities, I can meet some other moms and form some really solid friendships.

I've made a couple of very close friends over the last year or 2, I met both through LO's activities. But the majority of my close friends are also from growing up, college, or my early working years.

No, but I really want to! I moved far away from hometown, so lost touch with high school friends, and none of my college friends have kids yet, so different lifestyles going on. I am home 2 days during the week, so I find it difficult to meet other moms and join mom groups that have stuffed planned for the days I am working.

Yes! We just made some really greate couple friends through daycare. The mom and I are now really close, we text almost every day. We're spending NYE at their house this year, can't wait : )

Yes, some of them are newfound and some are deepening old relationships.

Aside from making the deepest friendship of all time with my DH after college, most of my closest friends are through college.
I do want to have close friends that are being formed right now, but I'm having a hard time developing those. Maybe once I have my baby, I can bond with other moms.

No, pregnancy has made me very insular and I am really only interested in my oldest and closest friends. Between work and various other obligations, my free time is at a premium, and lately I have really valued my down time. Proactively seeking new friendships sounds onerous and exhausting. I guess I am lucky that I already have a lot of excellent friends.
When I am on maternity leave, though, I do plan to seek out some new moms groups. Most of my friends are about a 45 minute trip away because we moved a few years ago. I can see them after work, before I commute home, but I would like some local new moms to hang out with while I am stuck at home with a newborn.

I've made a lot of new friendships, but I wouldn't call them deep... I'm the personality type that keeps 95% of people at surface level though.
