Hi Lady Gray, thank you for your great comments. One other commenter mentioned that the dating app Bumble has a BFF feature, just wanted to let you know, since I had no idea and you were wondering if there was an app for that. I totally understand that so many conversations when you meet someone new mid-thirties, are what do you do and do you have kids. I have kids and I still hate that this is pretty much the only thing people want to know or talk about. Also, I would love to have some friends without kids, instead of finding people who are in the same "phase of life" or whatever. Here's an article I wrote that's tangentially related, in case you want to read: How to become a more selfish parent - https://julianebergmann.medium.com/how-to-become-a-more-selfish-parent-1a59c19b71bb
