Anyone use this site? It is set up like a dating site, where you answer questions about yourself and your family and rate how important each aspect is to you. Then it matches you with other local moms.
It asks a LOT of specific questions - kids ages, marital status, working vs SAH parents, schedules, parenting style, on and on. And the ability to rate whether something is important or not is awesome.
The matches I've gotten seem to be spot on, although I have yet to really start using the site because apparently I'm equally shy about the site as I am in person.
(If anyone is going to sign up and wants to use my referral link, I'll post it - but I'm curious if others have used the site and made any IRL friends from it!)
I signed up. I met up with someone a few weeks ago. There are not many people signed up in my area.
How much corresponding through their messaging system did you do before you met?
I got 2 people that friended me, but they didn't include any new info about themselves. Just a generic request. I've added one person and included a more personalized message, so we'll see if she responds. Just wondering if there's an etiquette for this type of thing, haha.
Ok, I just signed up and I have a bunch of 100% matches. How do I connect with them though? I am shy and also confused!
You have to "add" them first, then you can chat. When you hit the "add" button when looking at a profile, it brings up a screen where you can add a message to the friend request. After that, you can go to your inbox and message friends.
There are also forums, but I haven't looked around them much yet to figure that out. I do think those are only nation wide, though, so you're less likely to stumble across someone you could meet locally.

How was the meeting?
It was okay. We met up at a mall and walked for an hour or so. I don't know that it was a match because neither of us has reached out to meet up again. But she wasn't a creeper or anything like that.

We messaged back and forth for a week and then made plans to meet that weekend. There was a bad snow/ice storm 0 Friday night so we moved the meeting to the next Saturday. So maybe 20 messages back and forth before meeting.
