It takes a little time for a new event to gather momentum. The most important thing is to be consistent. Get 2-3 people to agree to ALWAYS meet (I'll be one of them) so that as new people hear about the event and decide to come, they'll find people there. Skipping/canceling only ensures the event will ultimately fail.
Let's set the FourTwo event so that it ALWAYS happens. As I said, I'll agree to be one of the regular attendees. If you both agree as well, then there'll always be three of us there. Even if no one else shows up, we can have a good time.
