It is hard to start something from the ground up. While people do want to be part of a group of like minded people they are still afraid. Afraid of who will be there and what they will be like. For example I went to my first meeting of a local group. I live in a major city, will as luck would have it, my first meeting was also the first meeting that someone I knew went too also. I'm sure we spent the whole time hoping that it wasn't who we knew it was, than accepting that it was. Than wondering if we should act as if we didn't know each other or if we should talk to each other after the meeting Well we did talk after the meeting and the world did not come to an end. Younger people are more open with all of this. Maybe if you did it as a lunch get together. Send email saying Chris and I will be having lunch at (where ever) from 12pm to 1:30pm stop by for laughs, good food and drinks, Don't expect any thing or anyone. If you do get a 1 or 2 the next email should go like this..we all had a great lunch. Chris , Mary ,Tom and I had a great time talking about books and movies and just being silly. Like I said people are afraid of opening up to people they don't know. I wish the 2 of you luck and don't give up.
