When hanging with your friends, how do you make plans?
I’ve hung out with different groups but the people I’m closest with make it an effort to figure out rides and all that when we make plans. We also make sure everyone knows what time and where etc etc. But with some other groups people don’t call when they say they will and just expect you to show up somewhere even when they didn’t precisely tell you the time. I find the plan-making ways of the latter group really frustrating and annoying.
For example: A friend called me to tell me a group was going to see a movie, possibly at 10pm but she wasn’t sure and said she’d call me. Then at 10 I hear nothing and I call and she says “We’re here! Where are you?” ARGH.
How do you guys make plans with your friends?

That’s shitty!!!
Depends on the group of friends, some friends we just know that we all hang out everyday (that was more in high school and college). Now, it depends – most friends arrange a time and place to meet, but there’s this one group that meets every Tuesday at one of 2 or 3 places – so you always know where to find them.
We don’t have to arrange for rides because we all drive.. but it goes something like this:
Mass text: “Chillin’ at [persons] house. Come over.”
Responses are either “K” “Busy” or “I’ll be there at [time]”
Then we sit around and play video games or watch movies until someone comes up with a good idea.
me and my friends make plans usually a day before what we plan to do
like if we’re at school, we’d be like hey we should do something this weekend, then we say where, when, and then call each other that day to make sure most of us can go and then we hang out and if only 2 people can go we usually end up just not going, letting the other person know as well
Email or FB message in the days prior, text a few hours before.
Normally, I find that a plan will come together in a better manner if one person takes over the ‘plan making’ and then coordinates everything else.
That person is normally me :-P
I text – A LOT. I’m not sure how old you are either, but things get so much easier when everyone can drive and has access to a car, as well as better control over their own schedule (with no curfews and such).
