AW: I may have found a friend!

Ok, this is going to sound really lame and I know that.

Remember when I joined a knitting club a few months ago? Well our knitting club had a little Christmas party today and now we are off for school holidays and won't meet again until January 27th. Anyway, one of the ladies asked me if I'd like to get coffee sometime over the break and we exchanged phone numbers! I feel like I've just been asked out on a date by a boy I have a crush on! Silly, I know, but it takes me a long time to make friends and this will be the first friend I've made outside of my DH's family since I've been here. She's one that I met on my first day in the group (there were only 3 of us there that day and anywhere up to 10 of us any other day) and really felt drawn to because I find her very interesting.

Yay for a potential coffee date - even though I don't drink coffee!!! :)

  • I'm so glad, I was hoping the knitting club would work out like that. It took me a while to make friends too. Definitely take her up on it, I found out I had to be a bit more proactive about making friends here since I was starting from scratch.

    Not lame, it's hard to make friends in adulthood!

    Yeah for a coffee date!! Making friends as an adult is challenging!
    DH and I moved cross country mere days after our wedding to a remote military base that has a reputation for being a miserable place to live. I may or may not have cried a fears tears when I made my first friend there. She is still a dear friend. I know how much it means to make a friend of your own accord (ie, not your DH's family). Yeah YOU!!

  • That's so not lame, it's awesome!  I have been feeling the same way joining some mother's groups.  I've met a couple ladies (including a Biritish woman, yay!) who I feel may become good friends.  It's all about putting yourself out there. I remember when you were first posting about joining the knitting club so I'm glad to get a follow-up and see you're having fun with it.  :)
