"Fair play to organise something and hope it works out for you "
So do I I think I am going grey with all the worry. Let's hope it's a success and not a no show affair  |

"Best of luck with it. Tried to organise one last year and the amount of last minute excuses and no shows was unbelievable!"
Thanks man. I feel your pain but we are still going ahead at the minute anyway |

"People say they are very interested but when you ask them to confirm please then no reply and don't even read the message?? "
Best of luck with it mate, it's probably because you're a man. Apart from a few exceptions when a man organises a party very few take it seriously.
I'll be doing the same soon, I must be insane. |

Best of luck both.
We've organised a few small gatherings in the past and the one lesson we learned is to over-invite early and have confirmation from about 30% more people than you're actually looking for. For whatever reason people will drop out last minute or no-show. |

Tried that the last time I was home. Lots of "it's too early to tell, we'll know more closer to the time" which is fair enough, bit nobody was getting back to me so I gave up. Thankfully some friends decided to have a party the same time, so I co-organised with them. It was a great night. |

Thanks for the advice, what do you term a success or disaster?
It was a disaster in the sense that nobody showed up who Saidthey would apart from the one couple. Thanks cozy. Then tried to get a few together last minute but some of the guys started being very pushy so that was very off putting. That was the downside. The plus side is that I met a couple so hopefully we might organise something more solid in the future. Thanks again cozy. We had a good chat |

Well you are in Dublin and you can see all the crap you got, motormouths saying they'd meet etc, then disappear..
With absolutely nothing happening for Coffee Meets or Social drink meets in N. West I was half considering trying to get a few together but came to conclusion it would be a complete waste of time!
Any Parties/Meets in N. West that were announced have just died!
Even if it ended up with a few guys meeting for a Coffee or a Beer it would end up being slagged off as being a Sausage Fest, so a pointless exercise as no one would believe a few guys just had a Coffee or Beer together.
It's FAB and things are just the way things are.
There was a thread a while back where it was suggested that guys met guys for Veris by Coffee Meets... accepted by quite a few ladies/couples, but those looking for Veris were the homophobic ones!
It was meet women for coffee or nothing!! Their choice, their loss!
At least you met one or two so better than nothing...

For us a success is if the guests and you as host have a good evening, which you seem to have had. Fair play! |

Co-organising is a good idea and widens the net. We'll usually encourage return guests to invite people they know. |

If I'm unverified and meet a guy, even if it's just for a coffee.. when people do pop into my page then and see I have 1 veri, from a guy.. that's gonna put them off  and ive seen a lot of people admit to not reading veris so overall, meeting a man for a veri coffee could end up being detrimental to getting a meet |

Quite a few guys here verified by meeting guys for a drink/coffee.. if Published then it is better than no Veri.
People mightn't read Veris so stick it on profile. |

Well I'll keep you in mind for august. Thankfully I won't be flying solo so that will help my credibility. |
