My 'quick coffee' with a new friend turned into a 6 month scheduling nightmare

I met someone cool at a library event last fall and we said we should grab coffee. Trying to find a time that worked for both of us, with kids, jobs, and life, was IMPOSSIBLE. We must have sent 15 texts back and forth over weeks, suggesting dates that kept falling through. It literally took from October until April to finally sit down for that one hour chat. I felt so dumb that a simple meetup needed that much work. Has anyone found a better way to lock in a first hangout without all the back and forth?

Ugh, that sounds so familiar. I swear scheduling as an adult is its own part time job. Honestly, just getting it done at all feels like a win sometimes.

My friend's calendar mix-up last week was wild, @verac40.
