Ok, so maybe a Monday afternoon for coffee?

I had not factored spouses in, had not occurred to me for a meet-up like this, but of course feel free :-)

I'm the American. My husband is the Scot. We've met up with some people on here before. Haven't had the best experiences for the most part. He's a bit gunshy about it now. I'm always game.

Oh, sorry - my mistake! I'm sure you probably mentioned that before, so sorry I forgot! I'm also sorry to hear that you have had some bad experiences meeting people like this before, this would be a first for me, but I am new here. I guess I can see that coming from the same country does not necessarily ensure a great deal of common interests, but we can try! I am keen to hear how others are faring here and to hear their stories! :-)

No problem. We've gotten together with two couples from here. One of them were really odd and we had nothing in commen with. The other I became friendly with the US Spouse but then her husband was becoming abusive and she wasn't getting help and then I stopped hearing from them.

We went to some Big Apple Brits meetups. Mostly young Brits on work visas. Not overly friendly.

This fills me with confidence.... haha I am away for just over two weeks atm! But a Monday sounds good to me

Even if you meet up before I could catch you all the next time (let you all sus out the mass murderers first...lol)

Sorry, had missed these posts. A Monday sounds good to me, although I have quite a bit on over the next 2/3 weeks, but I'm game. At the end of the day, we might find that we're all weirdo's and have nothing in common..... then again, we might all get on like a house on fire, and believe me, the more friends you make in a new country, the better!! Lets all decide on a date then and see if we can tie in with everyone

Charma1ne

Well if you're busy for 2 - 3 weeks then how about we say the 22nd? I could make that and you could make that...everyone else?

October 22nd sounds good to me, my birthday's on the 24th, so we could have a wee celebration drinky

Charma1ne

Aww wow yeah we should I love that this coffee has turned into a drink! Clearly there IS a lot of Scottish blood going around in here I am getting pretty excited hopefully we can all make it

I can do the 22nd! If it's a definate my husband can take the day off. If not I can go anyway!

penguinbar

Not trying to put you off. Just being honest! Some of these meetups are really for young singles. Some of the girls were friendly to my husband but then they found out he was married and they buggered off! The guys were basically a bunch of young tossers.

Brat1

Oh well, I'm defo not in the young singles bracket so you're all safe Are we all agreed on the 22nd then, or is there another date that suits?? October 22nd is okay for me, the train gets in to Grand Central early afternoon I think, unless it's changed to Winter schedule by then

Charma1ne

I am good with October 22nd I am young but I'm married so dont stress about your husband haha ! I will see if he can make it too but I warn you all he is pretty quiet until he gets to know people unless he has a few drinks so we will see :P
