I hate people now. Nobody wants to keep their commitments. You can invite people to an event and they will all say yes, until a more enticing thing comes along and the flake on you last minute. If you say yes, be there, tell the other person “sorry I already made plans that day” like an adult

    For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.

    Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday

    Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19

    Person2: I can only do Saturday

    Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21

    Person4: I can only do the Friday after that

    Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.

    But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.

    Yeah I mean that makes sense, your friends respect prior commitments.

    Most of the time it's not like they are meeting other people. The commitments are like family visits every other week, traveling, studying, fixing something at home and so on. Occasionally it's some birthday party or something. It's mostly that everyone is busy all the time. Which I do understand but it takes a lot of of effort to organize something.

    Edit: right, Doodle

    And wouldn't this also work as a local-wifi-only mobile app?

    You mean doodle? It still exists but since polls are literally built into every messaging app now, its obsolete. It could be relevant if you have a one-time meeting with people who dont know each other and dont have a common messaging app.

    Don't remember the name but I used it couple of times in corpo settings. I think it weird that we have to organize meetings with couple of friends the same way we organized team buildings. I mean, weekends are for resting. Why everyone has everything booked months in advance? I spend every weekend actively but I don't have a lot of plans that I can't drop to meet someone.

    I for one will not invite you for anything if I don't want to do it with you. I also will not accept an invitation to do anything that I don't want to do with you. I greatly enjoy my own company and have a lot of things I love to do by myself. More people would be happier if they would learn to like themselves and found some hobbies.
