Have you ever tried making plans with your friends in a group chat? If you have, you know its nearly impossible, especially when your options are very limited (aka Small Town, USA). There never has to be an occasion, it can simply be a "Hey, I miss you. Let's hang out." sort of thing. As much as we all would love to admit that we would rather spend a day or night hanging out with our friends, we all have those moments when we are secretly praying in the back of our minds that the plans fall through, don't even try to deny it. Lucky for the loners out there, group chat plans have maybe a 25% success rate (at least in my experience), if your friends are insistent enough. If you're a regular member of the failed plans club, you'll recognize the stages of attempting to make plans in your friend group chat.
1. Deciding you're bored or lonely and texting your friends we should hang out
↑ Expectation vs reality ↓
2. Asking what we should do (and getting no response or a whole bunch of "idk" or "you decide" texts back)
Eye rolls are the only appropriate response.
3. Realizing no one will agree, and if they do not everyone can make it
To all the difficult friends.
4. Determining the argument isn't worth it
*mic drop*
5. Remind yourself you didn't want to go anyway (so tragic no one can make up their mind)
Clearly devastated.
6. Plan your night in, alone
