Honestly, I think meeting with one person is more preferable for me. That's because I can easily open up to someone I am more connected to and have deeper conversations, which is really essential between friends. That said, meeting with a group of friends can also be enjoyable if you love chaos and the lively atmosphere. However, I don't think it's a good idea because there is a lack of privacy and too much chaos.

Honestly, I think meeting with one person is more preferable from my side. That’s because I can easily open up to a person I am more connected to and have deeper conversations with them, which is really essential between friends.
