Who would like a BFPB...but is scared of rejection and/or

Re: Who would like a BFPB...but is scared of rejection and/or
Hehehehe well we just need to coordinate a wine date. That will settle it.
It's a couple of things for me...
The crazies scare me off but mostly I'm afraid of being a bad BFPB since I'm not on The Bump enough.
BFP 3/28/16 (EDD 12/9/16) * Chemical pregnancy
ME: 40 yrs.old
DH: 41 yrs.old
DD: 5 yrs.
This exactly! There are times that I just can't really get on (like the past week or so).
Proud mama to a boys- 6/17/09 - a girl 2/23/11- and a boy 8/20/12
Same here, especially since they've cracked down at work. I feel like I'm not on here consistently enough to know anyone that closely yet.
This... I get wrapped up in other things and get spacey on people even IRL.
And the crazies really freak me out.
Cycle 11 - Clomid 100mg + Follistim + hCg trigger + IUI= BFP!
Beta/P4 #1(13dpo): 94.5/47, Beta/P4 #2 (17dpo): 625/19.5, Beta/P4 #3 (19dpo): 1285/18.2

I really like your new website, Daysie! I just discovered it
I encompass a broad range of opinions on this topic.
#1: ?I am a private person, being on the bump is already putting myself out there in ways I could not have imagined. ?For instance, I have never have nor do I ever want to be on myspace, Facebook, etc. ?I have no desire to have people know everything about my everyday life, even people I consider close friends IRL. ?If they want to know what I am up to, just call call me.
#2: ?Over a year ago on a completely different board (not bump/nest?affiliated) someone stole a pic of my LOs ?and posted it on her blog. ?This just opened my eyes to the fact that the crazies are everywhere.
#3: ?I don't want to take on the responsibility of being a proper BFPB, whatever the duties?involve. ?I have 2 LOs underfoot most of the time, and obviously I cannot be on here as much as I would like.
#4: ?I do really think I have clicked with a couple of people here, but from their responses to this, I think they feel the same way as me, so its better not to force an issue. ?
#5: ?I love this board and most of the posters here. ?I feel like I can have relationships through the context of the board, and do not need non bump time to connect.?
lol this. Or that someone will think I AM one of the crazies...not sure. I am, as always, just kidding.
I think it's a lovely idea, but I would want it to happen naturally, not "OMG, I want a buddy!" It's also the crazy factor. Back when I was on the Knot, I shared much more about myself, so far, I'm a little more cautious after some of the nutty things I've seen on different boards.
I feel like I have the most awesome BFPB ever! I am not great at keeping friends IRL bc I get spacey and busy and don't do enough to maintain a good friendship. That being said I do have 1 really great IRL gf that I see almost weekly. But I didn't have a labor buddy and never thought I'd have a BFPB either.
With Kerri we started PM'ing eachother and after about 20 of those we realized we would like to text/email/send cards/call. So we figured BFPB's was good for us! We talk pretty much everyday in some form and I totally love her!
As far as her getting pg before me, I would be so happy it'd be like I was pg! I think BFPB's are really just good friends. Once you make that connection that will go past getting your BFP, past the bump, and on and on.
