Yeah I've tried both. I actually prefer scheduling 1 week+ ahead but shorter timelines seemed to get more direct answers. Longer plans meant non-committed responses like "I'll have to see how work is" or "I'll have to check with my partner" that they never followed up on.
A close friend and I have birthdays a few days apart so we put together a big camping or cabin trip each year that the bigger group has been committed to each year - but I can tell this year likely won't happen and probably won't happen again for a long time.
I'm glad I've been lucky enough to maintain a couple other friend groups and am starting to make some friends among other parents so I'm still optimistic I'll have or find some friends willing to hang out! I just always dreamed that this close group I've known since middle school and high school would be there the whole time. I'm not completely ruling them out - we could pick it up again in a few years.
There's nothing here!
