[quote=Anonymous]People don't actually like group outings. They say yes because they don't want to be left out but don't actually like doing these group events with more than a couple other friends, where it needs to be "organized" by someone. They don't like having to sit where you can find 8 seats together, they don't like being limited to only restaurants that please a broad number of palates. They don't want to herd themselves from one venue to another as a group.

I learned a long time ago to just say no to group outings like this (even birthday parties) because I hate them. But my impression is that other people also hate them but don't feel they can say no. It is very rare that someone does an outing like this and later says "It was great! I enjoyed the whole thing and have no complaints!" It's always "Well the kids liked the show but Joe and Susan were like 20 minutes late which was stressful and then afterwards Terry insisted we all eat at Shake Shack because it was close by and easy but I can't stand that place. I guess it was good to get everyone together but it just seems like a hassle."

I don't know if they drag their feet to repay because of this, or if it's a separate issue, but I do know that a lot of people don't enjoy this stuff and only say yes out of obligation and you likely overestimate how grateful are to you for organizing because they probably also resent the control you have over the outing.[/quote]
