Sadly Andrew. Arranging meet ups and get togethers has been a nightmare in the past.
The response very similar to your own.
Once a date and venue suggested. The messages come back from members with,
"Can't do that date it's a weekend"
"No good, it's a weekday"
"I'm on holiday"
"I don't live in London"
"I'm too shy to meet in real life"
The list is endless.
It's happened on here a few years back and I met a couple of nice guys for a beer or two and then the cuckold party I did, which was fantastic. But just too hard to repeat.
So now I just put the date up and if anyone comes they come. If not. I still have a few beers 🍻
