What we’re about
This group is for introverted women who want to make new friends.
This will be a long intro as I want to best attract the women that want and need to be here, not ones that just sign up for everything and are not serious about attending and making strong connections. I will try to be as clear as possible and hope not to repeat myself, I'm sure you will get the gist of it:)
This group is made for women who are 55+. If you are more low key, chill, compassionate, friendly, easygoing, non judgy, sweet, thoughtful, kind, authentic and want to meet other authentic ladies.
Maybe you don't have a lot of family or very little. Maybe you have no friends or a few good friends. Have you always wanted a small, close knit group of women friends, who you can trust to have your back? Maybe in the past you signed up for events and then changed your mind last minute, because you were too shy or it caused you some anxiety going to a group event? This could be your tribe. Do you find it difficult to find and connect with friends who are genuine, reciprocal, and compassionate? Do you long for friends that are there for you, not only in good times, but during those difficult times too. Maybe you find you put more effort into your friendships, than what is reciprocated to you?
If you can be open and share not only surface things, but go deeper, that disclosure will enhance and richen your bond with others.
Do you also like spending time at home? Prefer activities during the day, mostly? You don't feel like you need to be on the go all the time, doing tons of activities, which is fine for those people that do, but not part of this groups agenda. We won't be planning activities weekly. It will be one to two times monthly, where we get together for special group time and the group each time will be small, maybe 6 people max. I don't want this to be a large group. The end goal is to have a group of five or so close women friends you can, connect and call on. We will support each other and help one another, that's part of friendships. I want this to be quality, not quantity. And we will start the meetups with coffee dates, to get to know each other and then we can all plan our activities together.
This group is not for you, if you are a drama queen, needy, flaky, grumpy, mean, judgmental or snobby. Also, do not be attached to your phone while in the company of others. Do not ask anyone for money or help .This is also not a therapy group. Also, please take care of yourself and practice good hygiene. Absolutely no hard drugs, 420 ok, social drinkers.
Just to finish off. I have a handful of very close friends, who I adore and love very much! Some are busy with their families, some are not in town a lot anymore or they have group things they attend, that compliment their interests, work etc.. I absolutely, enjoy my one on one time with my closest friends and would love a small group of close friends too.
I want this to be a group of women, in similar situations, with similar outlooks, looking for the same thing. Sometimes in life, we may have lots of friends, then we have to get rid of some, others move, falling outs, etc...By the time we are in our 50"s, a lot of us will have a revised list of friends. And we are more aware of the importance of having close connections.
There will be a few questions to ask, before being accepted into the group and the group will be kept small. You must fit in with everyone, as this is a "group". A must is, that you want to make genuine, forever friendships!
Look forward to meeting some lovely, genuine ladies. Our first meetup will be in September, if we have t least a few ladies in the group by then :)
