My goodness, I have a friend who refuses (REFUSES) to give a bulk availability list, and instead just say “No” to everyone else’s dates that don’t match his. My bro, just give me a list of days for the love of socialism.
Me: I can do X, Y, Z, and AA
Friend1 : I got X, Z, AA, and maybe Y if we go early
Friend2: I got V, Y, N, %, and Left-Field
Friend3 : None of those work for me
Me: What does work for you?
Friend3: I dunno, what dates are you guys open to?
I mean, at that point, don’t discuss it in text, but use a scheduling tool that forces people into a framework. If they refuse, they’re just being a dick, but at that point, at least it’s obvious they’re fucking around.
Group chats on Discord, Signal, Telegram, and WhatsApp all support poll features, too, if one’s social circles use any of those. I’ve even assembled availability-scheduling through Google Forms as well.

Tools like this help a lot for my group

I’ll give this a gander

Mine aren’t that bad and it’s admittedly only one of them who cancels but it’s still frustrating enough for me to call it quits on organizing stuff
