I have tons of online parent friends. And even some local friends, that I mainly connect with on Facebook.

I'm a super introvert but really good at pretending I'm not (mainly online..). The thought of planning play dates gives me anxiety. As does the thought of joining any large, pre-existent mom group. It intimidates me as if I were going to a new high school and everyone is already friends. Ha. This sounds so lame.

How did you make close mom friends? My daughter starts preschool in the fall, so maybe that will help..
