Seeking Fellow Geeky Mums in London: Let’s Connect!
Hello, fellow Londoners!
As a self-described geeky mum in search of like-minded individuals, I am reaching out to the community with hope of forging new connections. If you’re a mum who’s passionate about all things geeky, I would love to know where you gather! Are there any groups or meet-ups that you recommend? As a member of the ‘older millennial’ generation, I find myself navigating motherhood while yearning for some engaging conversations beyond the regular parenting chatter.
Although I am fortunate to have a lovely circle of friends who are also mums, our interests often diverge. Conversations tend to revolve around our kids, and I occasionally find my mind wandering, wishing we could share more common hobbies. I’ve encountered a few geeky dads during playdates, but I’ve chosen to keep my distance as a single mum—avoiding any potential misunderstandings that might arise.
What I’m truly looking for is a space where I can discuss fascinating topics while our children play together. My little one is 7, and I crave the camaraderie of a group that enjoys going to conventions, participating in book clubs, or simply enjoying a drink after the kids are asleep. I would love to gush about their first ‘geeky’ milestones, share industry news, or laugh over the latest memes.
Here’s a glimpse of my interests: I’m a fan of science fiction in all its forms—books, TV shows, movies, and comics. I adore video games, especially RPGs such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Greedfall, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Final Fantasy. I also enjoy engaging conversations about romance within these genres.
If you know of any groups or events where I might connect with fellow geeky mums, please share! Let’s transform our downtime into something truly enjoyable and meaningful. I can’t wait to geek out together!
