The 3 of us were enjoying our sushi when a guy + his daughter came up to our table and started chatting with us! 
HAHA. We ended up exchanging numbers and we're gonna meet up for dinner next weekend.
So random. But I'm excited. He's Chinese, Wife is a Korean fob. Love that I have a friend to speak Korean with now!!
Would you just go up to random families and try to become friends?
Has this ever happened to you?

@chopsuey119: did you end up meeting with your new friends? How did it go?

I'm way too shy for that. I wish though, I'd love more mommy friends!

@mediagirl: HAHA. Yep! We met up with them once. They were 30 mins LATE to dinner! Don't know if you remember my pissed off tweet ;D
Haven't heard from them since. :T I didn't have much to talk about with the girl, and their daughter is 11 months older than my LO so they didn't have much to talk about either

@artbee: I saw some moms at the park today adn totally wanted to go up to them! Their kids looked around LO's age. I would have, but I was with one of my "friends" and her daughter, so I didn't.. :T

@chopsuey119: Lol, I can picture myself looking like a stalker, going to the park with LO and just staring at moms and their kids wishing I had the guts to talk to them. Wish I weren't so shy!

we met a lot of parents at the playground, and then you chat every time you see each other. in our neighborhood you go to the playground every day so you see the same people. we're really close to some of them now!

No, I generally don't befriend random people but I would probably try if I was a SAHM and went to the same places and saw the same people a lot.

@chopsuey119: ah! So. That's who was late! I did see that. It would piss me off so bad! Boo.

@artbee: that is so going to be me. I need someone to talk to me for me to feel comfortable saying anything to them.

@artbee: You should totally start talking to other moms if you get a chance to!!! Just say hi and ask how old their LOs are, etc!

Sometimes when I'm at the mall or park, I'll see a group of other moms and their babies and I feel jealous and long to talk to them. But I'm so shy.

Since becoming pregnant, whenever I see a mom with something I am considering using (like a stroller), I force myself to go over and ask a few quick questions about the item. I have been amazed at how lovely and accomodating they have all been (even when wrangling a todder or two!). I am hoping to continue this streak when I have my baby girl in September . . .

I felt that about other pregnant women when I was pregnant
I would totally go up so someone, probably ask about their LO first. I've been a nanny for a long time and this always happened. Although back then people would be like "you look too young to have all these kids!" lol
