Hi K., I would look for storytimes at the local library, Barnes & Noble & sometimes, The Children's Place. I'm not very outgoing. Generally, I look at who my daughters(6 & 3) are playing with in the playground & start talking to their mom. I start by asking how old the child is, what school they go to, do you come to the park often? I try to make playdates in public places. For example, do you want to get together at the park next Tues at 2:00 so the kids can play & maybe go for lunch or coffee afterwards? Generally people have routines-go to the park every Tues at 12:00, for example. If you see the same people regularly, start by saying hi, how are you. They will open up to you. I also noticed that Manuela G. posted something on 1/10. She is from Germany too. If she doesn't live near you, at least you could talk on the phone. I hope this helps. Good Luck
