My charisma is not high enough to spawn gamers. 
The summer before 3.5 came out, I was finally able to persuade my brother and our friend who introduced us to D&D 20 years ago to run a D&D game just for them. They haven't played since they were in middle school, so the first "virtual" adventure that I ran them through was The Orc and The Pie (although I heavily modified it by adding a door next to the orc). The intent was to teach them how combat worked in 3e without consequence for their characters, which was a good idea because the orc critted the rogue dead with it's first shot. Afterwards, I had them go through a regular adventure. Unfortunately, these two couldn't coordinate a consistant day of the week that they could game, plus my brother was starting to date and party heavily since he got divorced. For some reason, getting some was more important for my brother than mentally beating on fictional monsters for their imaginary treasure.
A few months ago, my brother and the same friend asked me to run a D&D session for them. I decided to use the D&D Adventure Game that belonged to my game club. The first adventure in the book is a very short taste into D&D. Basically the players hear that a unicorn that healed the townsfolk was kidnapped by goblins and the game starts right at the door of the room which has the goblins and unicorn. Then it has a second room with a treasure chest. And that's it. The end. But only my friend made it and he played Miele and Lidda and he had lots of fun. He would have been fine with me running a game just for him, but he moved away to another state shortly afterwards.
