[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im an A type. Ive tried to arrange mom dinners with school moms. If I do a group chat and ask for suggestions I then get 4-5 different dates, several restaurant options and a couple of no responses. The I try and narrow it down. It can take multiple texts and time.
Its way easier for me now to coordinate with one other person who is reliable about showing up and communicates well.
We pick a day and location.
I then send the group text with this info.
Your friend may be coordinating with someone that you don't know about, or shes just fed up asking you all and it involving so much back and forth
I would still go if i enjoyed her company once on the trip[/quote]

I think this is a good approach for dinner out; not a good approach for a trip. Trip I assume is a once a year thing so if you miss it or you are stuck doing something you are not into it's a missed opportunity for fun.

Dinner if you miss this month you'll get the next one.

OP - we stopped doing trips with my big group of high school friends because of something like this. It wasn't just that she planned everything, she was uncompromising and it became too painful to argue through every detail with her. The group broke up somewhat but the people I care to see I still see - saw one in Hawaii this year and am visiting another one in North Carolina this weekend. I would say if these trips aren't fun for you, don't go and then arrange what you want to do with who you want to do it with.[/quote]
