How friend groups get stuck in planning perfectionism cycles

My friend group always takes forever to plan anything because we want every detail to be perfect for everyone, so by the time we actually meet up it's been months and half the people can't come anymore and we're frustrated with each other. Last week we spent three hours in a group text trying to find the perfect restaurant that met everyone's dietary restrictions and price range and we ended up not making plans at all.

Collective desire to optimize for everyone's needs is paradoxically preventing the group from actually connecting.
