Dear Liliane,
How do you ask someone that you need to talk to them in person other than saying we need to talk?
Well this is a bit of a loaded question, but here goes....
There are a lot of ways to connect with someone. The key is, what’s your agenda and how can you keep them in the loop without manipulating them?
If you really just want to hang out, then tell them you miss their smiling face and ask when could you get together.
But this sounds a bit more serious. ‘We need to talk’ carries a bit of an ominous tone, and some folks will immediately feel anxiety or at the very least, a their radar will be up. Yet, it’s not nice to approach someone as though you just want to talk about the weather, and then blindside them with something heavy. They have the right to honour their own feelings and NOT meet up with you if they are uncomfortable.
So my best suggestion is, take the time to clear your own feelings so that you can speak from the heart. Be direct. Keep it simple. Be willing to accept their response even if it is not what you hoped for. But if you approach them openly and without a bunch of emotional baggage, then you have the best chance at on-going dialogue, whatever it may be about.
Good luck!
Got a question that needs a new pair of eyes?

It’s honestly disappointing to watch grown adults, elected to serve the public, behave like cliques in a high school hallway.
Since the very beginning of this country as an independent nation, we have had an ever increasing concern and public assistance for the poor and down trodden. Which has since evolved in to a multi-trillion dollar industry (yes, it's an industry) of social welfare systems, until today we have reached a point where
This is hardly a story, both party's include unrelated amendments to bills all the time, just to see if anyone's paying attention.
There will most likely be a sell off of some federal lands in the near future.
It's just not going to be included on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

as should always be the case, we should be thankful for the folks who answer the call and suit-up and do the hot - hard - and dangerous work of fighting these fires.
The negotiated cease fire is no reason to let our guard down, as Israel has already accused Iran of violating that cease fire just hours after it took effect.
I believe it's still a high probability for terrorism to occur with, or without Iran's blessing.
It's becoming more and more clear that the worst thing you can do for the environment is to listen to environmentalists.
