Frustrated with non replies
I don't think I'll be a good organiser ever. If the response is bad, I'll begin to wonder if it is my lack of rapport with my target audience. I believe a prompt reply is basic courtesy. I believe a commitment to an agreed outing is another basic courtesy.
A reply on the day itself is not exactly prompt. A "dunno leh" but went ahead and planned something more exciting isn't showing respect. A "see-how" and see what crops up doesn't make me feel good. I took the effort to lead. All I got was 1-2 replies on the first day. What about everyone else? Can I be faulted for taking it personally?
Someone taught me - organise for a core group; make them your priority. I tried; it sort of works. Lowering your expectations does help. However, it hits harder when your core group doesn't turn up but others, including EXTENDED friends do! Comes back again to - Is it me?
I don't want to go through this anymore =x

Are you supposed to give a reply, if R.S.V.P is not written? http://www.eventethos.com/blog/q-a-no-reply-card/
