I have struggled at the school gates for years to get in there and chat to people and now my ds is at a new school where I don,t know any of the parents of my ds's new class mates.
I do know one person at the school gates who happens to be my neighbour her dd goes to the school but is in the year above my ds.
I have only spoken to her but would love to start talking to more people.
Its only my ds's second day at this school today and I have only pinpointed one parent of a child in my ds's class.
My problem is that I am hopeless at small talk and have no idea how to walk up to someone start a conversation and get to know them.
Can anybody offer any suggestions on how to do this what would be a conversation starter with someone you have never met and how would you approach them without them thinking who the hell is this.
This problem of mine isn;t just confined to the school gates I have always struggled in this way.
Any suggestions I don,t want to be standing at the school like a loner every day.
