How To Meetup With Friends Like A Pro

If there is something we, here at citysocializer, can definitely do is meet up with friends. Today we will share our top tips so you can also meet up with your friends without any issues or delays.

1. Pick the right meeting spot.

Depending on where you’re going, there are several options you can consider. Meeting outside the venue is a good option for group bookings or events that you want to find seats all together. If you are doing something outside, it is wise to meet up in a public place, a tube stop or a monument that people can easily find.

2. Cover all the exits.

No, you don’t have to be at five places at the same time. The simplest thing is to meet up in a place with only one exit. Alternatively, make sure you can keep an eye on the alternatives. Most large train stations will have multiple exits so, if you do decide to meet up there, give your friends the correct exit number and the name of the nearest shop for a reference. Wondering why you can’t find each other when you are both ‘at the entrance’ is something you can easily avoid.

3. Make sure there’s a coffee shop nearby.

Since no one can control the weather, it’s good to have a coffee shop nearby to take cover in case of rain. You can have a nice cup of coffee or tea while you wait, which is always a bonus. Just make sure your friends know they can meet up with you inside.

4. Pick a time at least 30 minutes before you actually need your friends to be there.

Things happen, tubes break down, people get stuck in traffic or are simply late in general. Make sure you tell your friends to meet up early enough, to make sure they arrive on time. It’s good to leave your friends room to be fashionably late, without having to worry about missing your event.

5. Check in constantly

We know that people who seem to check in everywhere they go can be slightly annoying. However, letting everyone know where you are makes you so much easier to find. Think about all the times you have gotten lost trying to find a bar or shop and by the time you got there your friends had moved to the next place and you had to start all over again. A simple check in will let anyone who is a bit late where they can meet up with you now.

6. Make sure everyone has your phone number

Just in case people can’t access the internet, yes this happens sometimes, make sure your friends can reach you on your phone. Let everyone know your phone number in advance and keep an eye on it for missed calls and messages apologizing about the weather, the tube and all sorts of other reasons that are actually not your friends’ fault.

7. Relax and wait patiently for your friends

Sip your drink and see your friends arrive one by one. Now they’re all here, you can spend the next 15–20 minutes complaining about the weather and each one’s mode of transport and then have a much needed drink.

Congratulations! You have managed to meetup with your friends! Now just sit back and have fun.
